PVRINOX Pictures is set to release the highly anticipated psychological horror-
thriller, Heretic in cinema halls this December. Written and directed by acclaimed
filmmakers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods – of A Quiet Place fame, the film stars Hugh
Grant as Mr. Reed, alongside Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East as Sister Barnes and Sister
Paxton, respectively. Their seemingly routine day of door-to-door preaching takes a chilling
turn when they knock on the wrong door, plunging them into an intense psychological
struggle that unravels over a single harrowing night, challenging the very foundations of their
faith.
Hugh Grant takes on a haunting new role, bringing his characteristic charm to a disturbingly
complex Mr. Reed. This character, a departure from Grant’s usual roles. Reflecting on the
film, Grant shares, “I found Heretic to be daring, not just because it questions the unspoken,
but that it is set inside a house and spans over a day with characters talking— hardly normal
practice for a horror film.”
