Everything 'Heretic' Got Right and Incorrect About Latter-day Saints

Heretic is a fictional horror film featuring two sister missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sometimes known as the Mormon Church or the LDS Church. They fight to survive a deadly game of cat and mouse as the villain Mr. Reed (played by Hugh Grant) traps them in his house and strings them along a horrific path of religious deconstruction. Today I’m going to fact-check nearly every religious thing in this film, since the movie spends considerable time treating the doctrine, practices, and history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We’re going to evaluate its discussion of polygamy, magic underwear, birth control, reincarnation, and a lot more. At the end, I’ll give my take and overall review on how well I think the film Heretic did representing my own faith. CONTENT NOTE: Scripture Central illuminates and defends divine truth.
