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.

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.
