I don’t often watch movies in a theater, let alone horror films. But a few weeks ago, I found myself watching “Heretic,” which intrigued me for personal and professional reasons.
In the late 1990s and early 2000s I watched many romantic comedies featuring Hugh Grant. Today, I am a scholar of gender, culture and religion, including Mormonism. And in “Heretic,” two Latter-day Saint missionaries knock on a door only to find it opened by a character called Mr. Reed, played by Grant himself.
