Although British actor Hugh Grant has played villains before in the likes of Paddington 2 and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, his menacing role in A24's new horror movie Heretic feels worlds away from his previous work.
The latest film from director duo Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, who have previous experience with horror having written A Quiet Place, follows two Mormon missionaries (played by Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East) as they attempt to convert a man named Mr. Reed. Grant plays this mysterious stranger, who turns out to be more dangerous than both the missionaries themselves and the audience could have anticipated.
