Reed with Hugh as the first candidate for the role
Tale
Two young religious women become involved in a game of cat and mouse in a strange man’s house. Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East in Heretic, as well as other modern women killing horror game. Hugh Grant once stated in an interview, “I get bored of playing obvious roles and being pigeonholed” – Writer/directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods saw this interview and wrote the role of Mr. Mr. Reed is stabbed in the neck with a letter opener, which he then pulls out. This would cause blood to splatter all over his hand, his clothes, and the floor…but later in the basement, there is little sign of this when he is near the trapdoor: I promise you the last thing I wanted was to find the one true religion – but alas, I did not find it. The end credits state that no generative al was used in the making of the film. Appeared in Movie Reviews: Heretic | The Best Christmas Show Ever (2024).

If, like me, you saw this movie because you wanted to see Hugh Grant as a scary villain, then you will not be disappointed. Heretic is the story of two young Mormons who visit the home of Mr. Reed, played by Hugh Grant. Yet things are not as they seem. Outside the gate you meet the two Mormons, Sister Barnes, played by Sophie Thatcher, and Sister Paxton, played by Chloe East. Personally, I started watching this movie because of Hugh Grant’s show, but these two actresses held their own and both gave great performances. Since this movie only has three characters, it’s important that two-thirds of the cast give their best, and they did!
Reed, played by Hugh Grant
Sophie Thatcher’s character, Sister Barnes, is the more thorough of the two Mormons in my opinion, and the more knowledgeable of the two. Chloe East’s character, Sister Paxton, is the new missionary who feels more devout than her counterpart and is more zealous about the characters. Both of their appearances mostly consist of being terrorized by Mr. Reed, and thankfully neither of them falls into the dumb protagonist trope. Now let’s move on to Mr. It’s hard to say exactly how Hugh Grant plays this character so well. Because the way he acts isn’t inherently creepy or scary in any way. It’s more of a context that makes Mr. Reed scary.
And that’s it
The way he delivers his dialogue is so calm and in a way like he’s giving a lecture. He’s trying to educate and enlighten the two Mormons. The way Mr. Reed disgusted me was the way he is condescending and patronizing to you. That and the fact that we’re in a weird, creepy house where the lights are programmed and the ceiling drips. Mr. Reed just seems odd to me! Above I mentioned the dialogue. Writers/directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods wrote Heretic beautifully, giving each character their own identity through their dialogue.
The sound design was simple but effective
Heretic had great cinematography with effective use of close-ups and wide shots. The sound of creaking floorboards, drips, and old metal locks and doors enhanced the idea of an old, rustic house. Now, this is a spoiler-free review so I won’t discuss that part too much, but one aspect of the film that I wish they explored more was the idea of the maze. The characters and maze model are present in the movie poster and trailer, but not as prominent in the film, so if you were expecting a horror film with a maze, I would be disappointed. However, the set was pretty minimal, there wasn’t much to discuss. But what was there was simple and effective.
