A24 has officially revealed the poster for Heretic, their highly anticipated horror movie starring Hugh Grant. Known for its daring and unique horror productions, A24 is once again pushing the boundaries of the genre with this latest offering. Fresh off its premiere at TIFF, Heretic already has fans buzzing, and with good reason: the film promises a sinister performance from Grant, alongside an intense, thought-provoking plot.
Set to release in theaters on November 15, 2024, Heretic is written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, the talented duo behind A Quiet Place and 65. They’ve proven they know how to keep audiences on the edge of their seats, and Heretic looks set to do the same. The film’s poster alone evokes a sense of dread, with Grant front and center, portraying the villainous Mr. Reed.
In Heretic, two young missionaries, played by Chloe East (The Fabelmans) and Sophie Thatcher (Yellowjackets), knock on the wrong door and find themselves trapped in a deadly cat-and-mouse game. Hugh Grant’s character, Mr. Reed, delivers spine-chilling lines like, “It will make your hearts beat faster. It may even make you want to die,” giving us a taste of the psychological horror ahead. His promise that “You will witness a miracle” teases a terrifying twist that will challenge the faith of these young missionaries—and perhaps the audience’s as well.
With Beck and Woods’ signature tension-building, Heretic is set to be one of the standout horror films of 2024. Its haunting new poster only heightens the excitement. Fans of A24, horror, and Hugh Grant alike should mark their calendars for November 15—Heretic is sure to deliver a chilling, unforgettable experience.
