Description
Heretic Lookmovie was remarkable, functioning on multiple levels. It serves as a straightforward horror film featuring outstanding performances, particularly from Hugh Grant. While another actor might have leaned into a more theatrical portrayal reminiscent of Vincent Price, Grant opted for a more grounded approach, which proved far more effective. His unsettling presence stemmed from his refusal to overtly play the role of creepy. Additionally, the film thoughtfully explores the complexities of faith, presenting perspectives from both believers and skeptics, resonating deeply with my mixed feelings on the subject. It stands out as one of those rare films that not only entertain from start to finish but also provoke meaningful reflection. It ranks alongside Substance as a contender for film of the year. A particular line about prayer near the end struck a chord with me as a devout atheist and former Catholic.
