Two young women of religion are drawn into a game of cat and mouse in the house of a strange man.
Two young Mormon missionaries Sister Paxton (Chloe East) and Sister Barnes (Sophie Thatcher) are forced to prove their faith when they knock on the wrong door and are greeted by a diabolical Mr. Reed (Hugh Grant), becoming ensnared in his deadly and intense game of cat-and-mouse.
Half the fun of “Heretic” is waiting to see where it leads you next. Beck and Woods take the familiar and turn it on its head, while their characters ask serious questions about the role of faith and piety in a world rendered incomprehensible by chaos and violence. It’s a chilling, provocative thrill ride, and it showcases Grant’s immense talents.
