Custom Heretic image featuring Hugh Grant and two wooden figures from the movie
Heretic, the new film by directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods — the writing duo behind A Quiet Place — is slowly climbing up the box office ranks in a year that hasn’t been forgiving for the horror genre. Heretic debuted last week to positive reviews, and stars Hugh Grant as a mysterious man who puts a couple of young missionaries through hell when they come knocking at his door.
✕ Remove Ads Beck and Woods broke out as the writers of John Krasinski’s first A Quiet Place film. They went on to direct the science-fiction thriller 65, starring Adam Driver, but the movie didn’t exactly do well at the box office, grossing around $60 million worldwide against a reported budget of $45 million. Heretic is the kind of horror film that’s had a better chance of success this year, which has seen the failure of several mainstream offerings from major studios.
✕ Remove Ads Heretic continues Grant’s grand run of playing characters that don’t necessarily align with his long-held image as a charming romantic lead. He played the devious villain in last year’s Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, and will soon be seen in Paddington in Peru. Also starring Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East, Heretic is playing in theaters. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
