Heretic (2024) 7.5/10
2 Mormon girls go round to Hugh Grant’s and attempt to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and The Latter Day Saints to him. Doesn’t go well.
Having met Hugh Grant in a LOUNGE (Klang) I could have forewarned them that initiating any sort of chat with him is fraught with danger. Here’s a pic of the back of his head.
This is a decent psychological horror film with a good smattering of gore, builds well and is helped by an excellent script. Much has been made of Hugh’s performance and predictions of Oscars are all over the net but though I thought it was decent, having seen Fiennes briefly in the preceding trailer for Enclave I reckon he’ll get the nod over Hacked off Hugh. The atmosphere in this is helped by a claustrophobic set and is the sort of script that I think will be easily adapted to a good outing in Broadway and the West end in time. Worth a watch.
