Oooh now this is a film that's probably going to be more controversial in some circles than others. Religious commentary is always tricky unless done with expertise and although Heretic presents some of the better philosophical debates, it might still be uncomfortable viewing for those who consider themselves of a faith.
Trigger warnings aside, Heretic was still a great film. I've never hated Hugh Grant, but in this he was quite amazing (as were the rest of the cast). The film itself was well paced (where even the slow bits felt great), engaging and well produced - the finale may have been a bit blunt compared to the sharpness of the rest of the movie but that also gave the religious discourse a bit of escape too so I managed to forgive that.
Interesting, fun and creepy enough, Heretic definitely gets a recommendation from me.
