Amazon Prime finally adds 'best horror movie of 2024' that's 'masterclass in suspense'The lead performance was praised by critics and fansCommentsTVPeter Harris11:13, 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.


‌The film follows two young missionaries who knock on the wrong door(Image: A24/Youtube) 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."

‌ 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."


Hugh Grant plays a very different role(Image: A24/Youtube)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.
