Two young, inexperienced Mormon women go door to door. When a storm approaches, they are persuaded by an older man (Hugh Grant) to take shelter in his home, despite a sense of unease. The stranger shows interest in their religion and engages them in conversation. However, as the young women attempt to leave, a cat-and-mouse game begins, turning their religious mission into a nightmare. HERETIC is an original and surprising horror film from A24. Contrary to his image as a charming romantic, Hugh Grant skilfully embodies the leading role in this thriller maze.
