Heretic
A24 (2024)
Did you ever want to see Hugh Grant whip out a copy of Bob Ross Monopoly and do an impersonation of Jar Jar Binks in an effort to terrorize two young Mormon girls? If so, the latest horror/suspense flick from A24 is for you.
Heretic is the story of two young women who are working as missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. They have an appointment to visit the home of an intellectual Englishman, and as the poster suggests, this meeting goes horribly wrong.
This movie starts out strong and kept me on the edge of my seat for the first half, but it went off the rails a bit at the middle of the film and didn't stick the landing. I'm hesitant to go into any further detail as to why I feel this way because it's a film that's worth seeing and I don't want to spoil anything, but I will say that it's a good film that had the potential to be great if it didn't go over-the-top in the second half.
