Heretic
Are you religious? Do you have faith? Do you believe in miracles? Do you believe in prayers?
It will be a dark & stormy night for two Mormon missionaries, Sister Barnes (Sophie Thatcher) & Sister Paxton (Chloe East), when they ring the doorbell of Mr. Reed (Hugh Grant). Invited in out of the rain, the 2 young girls are recruiting new members to their faith. Mr. Reed is very charming & engages the girls in conversation about religions. But the girls become more suspicious of their creepy host as they talk. It seems that Mr. Reed has the girls ensnarled in some mysterious cat & mouse game as they find themselves trapped in his house with no escape. Grant is exceptionally disturbing as this crazed madman. Do you believe in resurrection? Who will survive & who will die?
Alien gives it 3 “one true religion/blueberry pie/magical underwear” stars out of 4.
