A24’s HERETIC, the most anticipated horror of the year, opens Terror-Fi 2024!
In his first horror, Hugh Grant delivers a career best performance as Mr. Reed, a man hell bent on upending the belief system of two unsuspecting missionaries… played by the brilliant Sophie Thatcher (‘Yellowjackets’, ‘Prospect’) and Chloe East (‘The Fablemans’, ‘The Wolf of Snow Hollow’).
‘Two young missionaries become ensnared in a deadly game of cat and mouse when they knock on the door of the diabolical Mr. Reed. Trapped in his home, they must turn to their faith if they want to make it out alive.’
Festivals: Toronto 2024, Fantastic Fest 2024
A clever twist on the religious horror genre, bolstered by three strong performances, particularly Grant’s gregarious yet haunting Mr. Reed.

It’s an intoxicating story setup that leads to a striking final act.
