A new trailer has arrived for writing/directing duo Scott Beck and Bryan Woods’ upcoming theological horror movie Heretic, giving a tiny peek at the holy horror lurking behind the door of Hugh Grant’s sinister villain. Watch the new Heretic trailer down below.
A24 will release Heretic in theaters on November 8, 2024.
Hugh Grant (D&D: Honor Among Thieves), Chloe East (The Fabelmans), and Sophie Thatcher (“Yellowjackets”) lead the cast of the upcoming horror movie.
In the film, “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.”
The initial trailer teased that Mr. Reed would prompt his captives to choose between two doors: Believe and Disbelief. While the new trailer doesn’t reveal much, it gives a glimpse of the horrors that await. Moreover, it teases that Mr. Reed might have savvier prey than he accounted for.
Heretic made its world premiere at TIFF, resulting in the first reviews hitting the internet. Critics are united on one thing: Hugh Grant shines as the devious Mr. Reed. I wrote in my review that Heretic is “a movie that’s ultimately carried on the back of its villain; and Grant’s daffy, amused portrayal of Mr. Reed might be enough to make you a convert.”
The A24 film has been rated “R” for “some bloody violence.”
Scott Beck and Bryan Woods wrote A Quiet Place with director John Krasinski, and they just wrote/directed the high concept Adam Driver dinosaur movie 65 last year. The duo also wrote/directed Haunt and penned the Stephen King horror film The Boogeyman.
Get ready to smell the blueberry pie and confront your faith when the holy horror movie Heretic arrives next month.
