The latest from writer-directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods (A Quiet Place, 65), Heretic is intricate, intellectual, and eerie. Beyond the religious debate and blueberry pie lies Hugh Grant in one of the most surprising roles of his career. “What really sets Heretic apart is Grant, the absolute monster of a man he plays, and just how awfully familiar that man is,” Mashable’s reviewer writes. You may never look at his Notting Hill performance the same again after watching.

The A24 religious horror gem is finally available to stream, so you can catch Grant take on the role of creepy Mr. Reed at home. Here’s everything you need to know.

What is Heretic about?

Loner Mr. Reed (Grant) is visited by two Mormon missionaries (Yellowjackets Sophie Thatcher and The Fabelmans Chloe East) in A24’s Heretic. The girls are hoping to teach him about the Church of Latter Day Saints, but get more than they bargained for when he traps them in his house. To exit, they face a loaded choice: the door labeled “belief” or “disbelief.”

Get a glimpse of Hugh Grant channeling his inner horror villain in the official trailer below:

Is Heretic worth watching?

“Here, you’ll witness Grant both as you’ve never seen him before (downright terrifying!) and exactly as you’ve seen him before (charming with a side of self-deprecation). The combination is downright bone-chilling, with Grant’s performance providing nonstop terror even as Heretic‘s theological frights remain fairly surface level,” Mashable’s Belen Edwards writes in her review. For Grant alone, Heretic is worth watching. But don’t just take our word for it — the A24 horror film also currently holds a 91 percent critic rating and 76 percent audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, earning it the “certified fresh” label.
