Movie 101 in its third season, featuring Mr.Bob LeMent discussing about the movie Heretic.

Heretic is a psychological horror film directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, known for their work on A Quiet Place. The film follows two young Mormon missionaries, Sister Barnes (Sophie Thatcher) and Sister Paxton (Chloe East), who visit the home of a seemingly harmless man, Mr. Reed (Hugh Grant). However, their routine evangelism takes a dark turn as Mr. Reed’s sinister intentions become apparent, leading to a chilling game of psychological and spiritual manipulation. Heretic explores themes of faith, doubt, and control, offering a suspenseful and unsettling narrative that keeps audiences on edge. Hugh Grant’s transformation into a menacing antagonist has been widely praised, marking a bold departure from his usual roles. Premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2024 and later released by A24, the film has received critical acclaim for its eerie atmosphere, strong performances, and thought-provoking storytelling.
