Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East in Heretic, plus more modern women slaying the horror game
Scenario
Two religious young women are drawn into a game of cat and mouse in a strange man’s house.. The end credits include the statement: "No a no generative of Al was used in the making of this film.". Two Mormon missionaries, Paxton and Barnes, are lured into the home of the polite and knowledgeable Mr. Reid.

Hugh Grant (Mr
It’s thrilling to see where each topic and line leads the characters. I enjoyed the deep dialogues about myth, choices, and uncomfortable topics like polygamy and Mormon underwear. Reed) was present at this world premiere screening at the Toronto International Film Festival. Grant seemed to relish the atypical role for him of playing a “bad guy.” He was well cast alongside Chloe East and Sophie Thatcher, both of whom were also present at the premiere, as they all seemed to act instinctively and from the heart.
No wonder they were so good
East and Thatcher were once Mormons, and Grant bonded with certain aspects of Mr. Reid. "I found it," said Grant of his character’s views on religion “that we have a lot in common”. They were channeling some of their life experiences. Excellent casting.
