With Heretic, Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, the screenwriters behind Without a Sound, return to the horror genre with a harrowing thriller. Expected on December 4, 2024, the new feature stars Hugh Grant in an unexpected role, alongside Sophie Thatcher(Yellowjackets) and Chloe East(Generation). The film follows two young Mormon missionaries in a small Colorado town who, on their quest to convert the locals, find themselves trapped in a house of deadly secrets. Beck and Woods, masters of suspense and horrific thrillers, write and direct, promising a work that is both captivating and terrifying.
In a small, isolated town in Colorado, two young Mormon missionaries, played by Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East, spend their days going door-to-door in the hope of converting souls. After one fruitless day, they decide to knock on the door of an isolated house. Hugh Grant, in the role of Mr Reed, a charming but mysterious man, welcomes them. What begins as a warm encounter quickly turns into a nightmare: the two young women realize they're trapped in a veritable labyrinth. The deceptive-looking house hides unsuspected dangers, and they'll have to rely on their ingenuity to survive.
Heretic is aimed above all at fans of horror films and psychological thrillers, with a plot reminiscent of classics such as Don't Breathe or Get Out, where protagonists are trapped in hostile environments. The cast, led by Hugh Grant, who abandons his usual romantic comedy roles here, and the direction by Beck and Woods, could attract an audience curious to discover a new high-tension horrific thriller. If you enjoyed Sans un bruit or Hérédité, Heretic should be on your must-see list.
Heretic, with its claustrophobic atmosphere and trapped characters, promises to be a breathless, harrowing thriller. Based on a script skilfully crafted by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, the film should offer an effective build-up of tension. Performances by Hugh Grant and Sophie Thatcher add to the appeal of a film that promises to be as intense as it is disturbing, perfect for fans of horror films and psychological thrillers.
