    Went into this knowing the twist, but I was glad to see it was revealed early. Some of the early dialogue is heavy handed, but besides that I had a really good time with it. Sophie Thatcher w as great. Jack Quaid plays the perfect entitled, whining millennial.

    Slight spoilers... Oh boy. This movie. WTF? It's not good. The word I keep coming back to is "cheese." So much cheese throughout this whole thing.

    Heretic doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it's not the worst iteration of religious horror/thriller. Honestly it's a middle of the road movie that's greatly elevated by the actors involved.

    Hugh Grant does a great job as the villain and Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East are no slouches either. Which is great because this movie is very talky. Topher Grace has a small role and was barely recognizable.

    Overall I think I was expecting more since the trailer heavily pushes the maze/ model aspect of the house and it's really not that.
