Disappointing. Such an interesting setup and buildup over the first two thirds of the movie, but a complete flop of a payoff. Would have been far more successful if they had gone the Eldritch, Lovecraftian route AS WAS ALLUDED TO THE ENTIRE MOVIE. But in the end the director decides to go down the very simple and boring road of nothing matters, religion bad, and this guy was crazy. A film with incredible potential but really just falls flat in the end. What a letdown.

it was OK, there is much, much better out there.

Trash movie

Don’t waste your money. Was a waste of 2 + hours.

Overall, not for me. I am definitely not the target audience for this movie. Wanted to walk out several times hoping it would get better and I didn’t want to miss out on the best scenes, there was nothing to miss. Acting was okay but overall a waste of time and money.

I really enjoyed the film, I was surprised by the direction it took given what the trailers showed.

Absolute Yap fest no action lots of plot holes. Just play phasmaphobia

this was an excellent movie, especially for the salt lake audience

Very thought provoking!!

I love Hugh grant but the movie didn’t really have a premise.

If you're looking for a typical slasher type horror movie, this isn't it. This feels more like a social commentary on religion and belief. I enjoyed it

Very interesting and intense

It was a very clever movie. Taught me a few things that I did not know.

Must watch for any people who have ever discussed the intriguing topic of religion.

Hugh grant at his best!

My review on Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/7MlhlF

I really liked it a lot, I’m not really religious but. My mom is, they talk about different things like that, but she still liked it

Wanted to love this, but it was so slow and didn't really have much of a story. What was spooky was the odd religious tone. Watch it and you'll understand what I mean.

Full of surprises! This was such a refreshing concept. It will have you guessing until the end credits!

one of the better movies I've seen this year. Hugh Grant is absolutely excellent in this role

A Catechism on Control, Choice, and Consumption....free will or will fear determine our fate?

utah on the map

Grant’s performance makes this film worthy of note. But expect to leave Heretic with perhaps less faith in mankind than you had already. (Wherever your levels were to begin with is a whole other question.)

Among the best horror films of the year.

Heretic has been crafted with expert care, and the strong performances help carry this dialogue-driven thriller. The problem is that the film’s ideas are not particularly stimulating.
