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 A24’s latest horror flick, Heretic! And get this: he’s playing a creepy guy named Mr. Reed. Cue the gasps!
At a very youthful 64 years old (he’s aging like fine British cheese), Hugh is trading love triangles for terror traps, starring alongside Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East. The plot? Oh, it’s a doozy. Picture this: two innocent, wide-eyed young missionaries knock on the wrong door—because, of course, that always ends well in horror movies—and who answers but Hugh Grant! But wait, he’s not here to fumble awkwardly through a love confession. No, no. He’s Mr. Reed, and he’s 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 didn’t 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 let’s just say, it’s not exactly Sunday school material. So, buckle up because when this movie hits theaters on November 8, you’ll never look at Hugh Grant (or knock on a stranger’s door) the same way again.
Now, if you dare, go watch the trailer… But don’t blame me if you start hearing Hugh Grant’s voice in your nightmares!
