Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East in The Heretic, as well as more modern women killing the horror game
Line of Events
Two young religious women are drawn into a game of cat and mouse in a strange man’s house. The music in the end credits is a version of Knocking on Heavens Door ”, set to the tune of “Fade into You” by Mazzy Star.
Featured in movie reviews: Heretic | The Best Christmas Show of All Time (2024)
A hint that Radiohead’s “Creep” is a reprise (due to the tune) of “The Air That I Breathe” by The Hollies, mentioned earlier by Grant in the film. The end credits state that no Generative AI was used in the making of the film.
Heretic is as unpredictable as it is inconsistent
Although the film keeps you in suspense for most of the time, the plot begins to run out in the last act. Hugh Grant gives an exceptional performance, and Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East also shine in their roles.
Unfortunately, the plot is the weakest point of the film
The director, cinematographer, and production designer also deserve praise, as they gradually immerse you in the growing madness of Grant’s character and his haunted house. The tension and mystery build well at the beginning, but somewhere around two-thirds of the way through, they start to unravel.
The climax left me a little disappointed, as I was expecting something deeper
Still, The Heretic is an excellent horror film in its own right – enjoyable, but not as memorable as I had hoped.
