Line of Events
Two young religious women are drawn into a game of cat-and-mouse in the house of a strange man..
What's good Hugh Grant, always plays 'Hugh Grant'
He doesn't actually do much in the way of 'character acting'.
Mobile phones won't work in Hugh's house, is explained and plausible
But in Heretic , as Mr Read, he is surprisingly menacing, yet still affable !Unlike many recent films, it is all logical, no glaring plot holes .e.g.
Just as you think, it's gone dark, surely they would use the torches on their phones?
The characters switch them on.With no plot hole distractions, you are kept rivetted and have no real idea what will happen next, as this tense thriller unfolds.My only criticism is I though the ending slightly unsatisfying, but that's a minor personal gripe.Heretic is a thought provoking thriller, well worth a watch and a worthy 7.5/10.
