Hugh Grant delivers a devilishly dark performance in the twisty horror Heretic, showcasing his knack for playing devious villains, as seen in Paddington 2.

In this chilling tale, written and directed by A Quiet Place creators Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, Grant stars as Mr. Reed, a seemingly charming man who is visited by two Mormon missionaries after expressing interest in conversion. However, things quickly take a sinister turn. Reed behaves increasingly suspicious, avoiding introducing his wife and offering odd, theatrical lectures on religion, using unorthodox examples. As the tension builds, it becomes clear that Reed has a dangerous, hidden agenda. Grant’s performance is both chilling and compelling, adding layers of intrigue to this gripping horror story.
