Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East in Heretic, plus more modern women slaying the horror game
Synopsis
Two young religious women are drawn into a game of cat and mouse in a strange man’s house. The end credits include the statement: " “No generative Al was used in the production of this film.”. Two Mormon missionaries, Paxton and Barnes, are lured to the home of the polite and knowledgeable Mr. Reed.
If they can
He is eager to discuss their beliefs and hear the good news. Too eager. When the discussion of theology takes a dark turn, the sisters are just as excited to leave. Heretic is an intense, chilling and frighteningly honest discussion of the horror of thought.
Hugh Grant (Mr
It’s exciting to see where the individual themes and detours lead the characters. I loved the deep dialogues about myths, decisions, and uncomfortable topics like polygamy and Mormon underwear. Reed) was present at this world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. Grant seems to have enjoyed his uncharacteristic role of playing a “thief”.
They conveyed some of their life experiences
He was well cast alongside Chloe East and Sophie Thatcher, who were also present at the premiere, as they all seemed to act on instinct and from the heart. East and Thatcher were once Mormons themselves, and Grant was associated with certain aspects of Mr. Reed. "I found," said Grant of his character’s views on religion, “that we have a lot in common.” No wonder they were so good. Great casting.
