Romcom veteran Hugh Grant has been receiving rave reviews for his role as a creepy theologist in the new horror film Heretic – and according to one of the movie’s directors, he “dived deep” into the part.
Grant stars in the movie as Mr Reed, a man who invites two young Mormon missionaries – played by Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East – into his home after they knock on his door. Their attempts to convert him turn out to be far more dangerous than they could have predicted, with Grant giving a performance that has been described as “genuinely chilling”.
