Heretic (2024)
In Heretic, two young missionaries are forced to prove their faith when they knock on the wrong door and become ensnared in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse.
Heretic has a 91% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes: their third best-reviewed horror of 2024.
Hugh Grant was nominated for the Golden Globe, BAFTA and Critics Choice awards as the diabolical Mr Reed, opposite Sophie Thatcher (Yellowjackets) and Chloe East (The Fabelmans, The Wolf of Snow Hollow) as Mormon sisters Barnes and Paxton.
Men’s Health hails Grant for “arguably [his] best performance from the last decade” as “one of the best horror villains we’ve seen in a while.” Just be warned: as Empire Magazine says, “You’ll never watch Notting Hill the same way again.”
Directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods (who also wrote A Quiet Place) were up for Best Screenplay at the 2025 Film Independent Spirit Awards.
