Heretic
Heretic
A diabolical Mr. Reed (Hugh Grant) ensnares two young missionaries in his terrifying game of cat-and-mouse when they knock on the wrong door and are forced to prove their faith.

Whilst it perhaps loses its way a little in the final act, Grant’s devilish performance keeps you at the edge of your seat throughout. You are kept guessing about the true nature of ‘truth’, swayed backwards and forwards from door to door, between good and evil, or real and imagined. The build up to the film’s climax is so strong that inevitably, it fails to live up to expectations, but is a film worthy of a second viewing.
