Heretic starts off incredibly strong: dark, obscure, and packed with suspense. The atmosphere pulls you in right away, keeping you on edge and guessing. As the story moves toward the end, though, it does lose a bit of its momentum, feeling slightly less tight and intense. That said, I really appreciated the open-ended nature of the conclusion; it invites interpretation and leaves you thinking long after the credits roll. Overall, a gripping and memorable experience, even if it stumbles slightly before the finish line.
