  • Heretic movie review & film summary (2024)
    The script by Beck and Woods is a marvelous blend of religious history and sociopathic behavior. It's "Saw" meets "Silence." And Grant is having a blast delivering it. He's been leaning into a bit of a dark edge in his actor's bag of tricks recently, and this is his best work in years. However, he is well-matched by his castmates, especially ...
