by

As a movie connoisseur with over three decades of cinephile experiences under my belt, I must say that Heretic has left a lasting impression upon me. This masterpiece, available now on various VOD platforms, boasts an exceptional performance by none other than Hugh Grant as the captivatingly sinister Mr. Reed. The box office success and critical acclaim of this A24 production are well-deserved, with its impressive worldwide total of $40.7 million against a budget under $10 million.

Among this year’s top horror flicks, the chilling film titled “Heretic” is now more accessible to a wider audience, as it has been released on Video On Demand (VOD) platforms such as Amazon, YouTube, Apple TV, and Fandango Now (previously known as Vudu). The captivating acting of Hugh Grant as the cunning Mr. Reed makes the movie a must-watch, which can be rented for $19.99 or purchased for $24.99. Directors Bryan Woods and Scott Beck have proven their talent not only in box office success but also with audiences and critics alike.

Beginning its release on November 8, the movie “Heretic” has earned $27.5 million in the U.S. and an additional $13.2 million internationally, totaling $40.7 million worldwide (as reported by The Numbers). Given that it was made with a budget less than $10 million, this box office success has more than quadrupled its production cost. It’s worth noting that while most horror films don’t typically win over critics, they were greatly impressed by A24’s gripping and macabre take on the genre.

The movie “Heretic” is currently receiving high praise from critics, with a Tomatometer rating of 91% based on 251 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. This positive response is largely due to the majority of critics’ favorable reviews. Additionally, MovieWeb’s Murjani Rawls gave the film a score of 3.5 out of 5 stars and commended Grant’s performance as “perfectly fitting.” In his review, Rawls notes that Grant’s portrayal in the movie is exceptional.

Grant seems perfectly suited for the character of Mr. Reed. He has a knack for delivering complex exposition and information with a hint of sarcastic wit, keeping audiences engaged and eager for more. At one point during Mr. Reed’s speech, he brilliantly ties together Monopoly, fast food, and The Hollies’ 1974 song ‘The Air That I Breathe’ to make a thought-provoking argument about religion.

Hugh Grant Has Revealed Details of His Dedication to Playing the Villainous Mr. Reed

Golden Globe-winning actor Hugh Grant, famous for his charming roles in films such as Four Weddings and a Funeral, Bridget Jones’s Diary, Love Actually, and Notting Hill, is not just limited to romantic leads. In fact, his versatility shines through as he masterfully takes on diverse roles. A prime example is his portrayal of the cunning Mr. Reed in Heretic, a role that required immense dedication and effort, as revealed in an interview with GamesRadar+.

Currently, I meticulously scrutinize the script using a fine-toothed comb, repeatedly. This process is essential because it helps me understand his actions and words better. Each answer provides insights into his character and background, which gradually unfolds into a comprehensive biography on my computer. This includes details about his relationship with his parents, siblings, and more.

How did events unfold at school? And what experiences left lasting scars on him, transforming him into the tormented soul he is today? It’s crucial to portray this damage within him so vividly that the audience can sense it. If they don’t, there’s a risk of him being reduced to a one-dimensional antagonist. However, if they can perceive a wounded individual beneath, then he becomes more intriguing.

Currently, the chilling horror movie “Heretic” by A24 can be streamed on popular Video On Demand services such as Fandango at Home. If you’re eager to watch it, you can rent the film for $19.99 or buy it outright for $24.99. Also, don’t forget to read MovieWeb’s “Heretic” review, which praises the movie for being so terrifying that it might even shatter your beliefs!
