Its the originality of Heretic I most loved.
It didnt rely on shocks or gore (although there is some of that), instead the premise is given time to creep up and sink in.
Essentially there’s three characters - played brilliantly by Sophie Thatcher, Chloe East and Hugh Grant - who are all strong enough to show us their different and distinct perspectives in this unsettling story.
And as great as they all are, Hugh Grant needs a mention at somehow playing a lovable version of himself who really, really…really turns into one of the most sinister antagonists of any film in recent years.
Physcological, theological and thoughtful horror at its best.
