Heretic is already out here in the UK, but as it’s dropping in the US next week, A24 have released a delightful featurette on its baddie, teasing a multi-layered performance by Hugh Grant.
His character leads two female missionaries (played by Chloe East and Sophie Thatcher) into a trap, leading to a nightmarish situation filled with manipulation, mind games and… well, who knows what else! (You might if you’ve seen it yet)
The official description reads:
Two young missionaries are forced to prove their faith when they knock on the wrong door and are greeted by a diabolical Mr. Reed, becoming ensnared in his deadly game of cat-and-mouse.
And you can watch the featurette below – it certainly looks like Grant had a lot of fun with this character!
This IS on my list to see, but I’ve been so busy lately that I needed the reminder to hopefully find a time slot and get myself down the cinema.
What do you think of this featurette for Heretic? And if you’re in the UK, have you seen the film yet? Share your thoughts below.
