Heretic (2024) - faith, manipulation, and psychological horror

  • Summary

  • What happens when faith is tested by manipulation in a chilling psychological thriller? In this episode of Rogue Reviews, we explore Heretic, a gripping horror film directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, with Hugh Grant delivering a captivating performance in a role far from his usual. The film follows two young missionaries who are drawn into a tense psychological battle with a sinister figure, leading to deep questions about faith, control, and manipulation.

    We explore the film’s slow-burn tension, where dialogue takes centre stage over typical horror tropes, and discuss the philosophical themes around belief and power. The performances, especially from Grant and the young actresses, are examined for their complexity and depth. Heretic challenges perceptions of religion and control.

    Could Heretic be the perfect blend of philosophical depth and suspenseful horror?
