When the first trailer for Heretic was released, it immediately went into my new A24 movies I can’t wait to watch in 2024 list. It's easy to see why, and the trailers for the new movie were very intriguing indeed. Namely, everyone was talking about how it was nice to see Hugh Grant moving from his romantic comedy roots into something far more sinister.
The set-up for Heretic is simple yet effective: Two young Mormon missionaries show up to the house of Mr Reed, who has apparently requested a visit to learn more about their faith. Unfortunately for them, they've walked into a horrifying trap that could cost them their sanity or even their lives. But despite the great concept and the fact it did turn out to be a very good movie, there's another recent 2024 release that holds a special place in my heart. A movie that deserves its spot on our best Max movies list, that's for sure.
