THE LEAD PERFORMANCE WAS PRAISED BY CRITICS AND FANS PETER HARRIS 11:13, 01 Jun 2025 Amazon Prime has finally added what has been dubbed by fans as the 'best horror movie of 2024'


and described as a 'masterclass in suspense'. After appearing in the platform's coming soon list more than a month ago, Heretic, has finally been included in the


streamer's library. It is now available to stream at no additional cost to Prime subscribers from today (June 1). The film caused quite a stir when it was released in cinemas last year,


as it stars iconic British actor Hugh Grant in a very different role. His performance would eventually earn him a BAFTA nomination for Best Leading Actor. Its story follows two young


missionaries who become ensnared in a deadly game of cat and mouse when they knock on the door of the diabolical Mr. Reed (Grant). Trapped in his home, they must turn to their faith if they


want to make it out alive. The film was written and directed by filmmaking duo Scott Beck and Bryan Woods. The pair are well known for penning the original A Quiet Place together. Their


recent project was just as well received critically, earning a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Article continues below One verified reviewer saying it 'messes with your mind'. Fans


are still singing its praises just as much with several claiming that it is the 'hands down, best horror movie of 2024.' Another said: "Thought-provoking. Somewhere between


Saw, Cube, and 10 Cloverfield Lane, wrapped in a 'crisis of faith' theme. Come for the psychological thriller, stay for the philosophical killer. Excellent performances/directing.


Much like the titular antagonist, the film manages to hold a microscope up to religion while giving us challenging choices to make." Get Prime Video free for 30 days This article

tantalising TV like The Boys, Reacher and Clarkson's Farm by signing up to Amazon Prime. Just remember to cancel at the end and you won't be charged. Singing Grant's praises


in particular, one viewer states: "Heretic is an absolute masterclass in suspense and psychological horror, and Hugh Grant delivers one of the most chilling performances of his


career." They continue: "Stepping away from his usual charming roles, Grant embodies pure menace with eerie precision, proving once again why he’s one of the most versatile actors


in the industry." Article continues below One fan praised the studio behind the release, A24, stating they 'knocked it out the park again', while another claimed


'Hollywood has done a disservice to Hugh Grant.' They said: "Based on this performance, he clearly should have been given more antagonist roles. He chews up dialogue like


Denzel in Training Day and easily layers on tension and malice. Fantastic." Someone else claimed that their immediate reaction after seeing the film was: "This movie is simply


PERFECT. Like Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" perfect." _HERETIC IS STREAMING ON AMAZON PRIME._
