Our favorite charming Brit, Hugh Grant (yep, the guy from all those rom-coms), is putting down the love letters and picking up… something much more terrifying in A24βs latest horror flick, Heretic! And get this: heβs playing a creepy guy named Mr. Reed. Cue the gasps!
At a very youthful 64 years old (heβs aging like fine British cheese), Hugh is trading love triangles for terror traps, starring alongside Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East. The plot? Oh, itβs a doozy. Picture this: two innocent, wide-eyed young missionaries knock on the wrong doorβbecause, of course, that always ends well in horror moviesβand who answers but Hugh Grant! But wait, heβs not here to fumble awkwardly through a love confession. No, no. Heβs Mr. Reed, and heβs about to take these poor souls on a joyless ride straight into a game of sinister hide and shriek!
Yes, Hugh Grant is now the master of diabolical games. Apparently, Notting Hill didnβt prepare us for this side of him. Gulp!
Heretic was written and directed by the dynamic duo Scott Beck and Bryan Woods. These guys have cooked up a chilling tale where faith gets tested, and letβs just say, itβs not exactly Sunday school material. So, buckle up because when this movie hits theaters on November 8, youβll never look at Hugh Grant (or knock on a strangerβs door) the same way again.
Now, if you dare, go watch the trailerβ¦ But donβt blame me if you start hearing Hugh Grantβs voice in your nightmares!
