“It’s a tremendously enjoyable type of horror, full of giggle-inducing jump scares, but sending you off with some intelligent questions to gnaw on.”
★★★★ Olly Richards, Time Out

“An incredibly tense, tightly contained bottle horror, showcasing a genuinely chilling turn from Hugh Grant. You’ll never watch Notting Hill the same way again.”
★★★★ James Dyer, Empire

“Heretic is gruesome and bizarre and preposterous, the third aspect made palatable by Grant’s dapper performance of evil.”
★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, Guardian

“The genius of Hugh Grant’s big horror turn in Heretic is that, really, he’s the same Hugh Grant as before…”
★★★★ Clarisse Loughrey, Independent

“Grant has indecent amounts of fun with a script that somehow joins the dots between Abrahamic religion, Monopoly, Jar Jar Binks and the Hollies’ The Air That I Breathe and his two co-stars bounce off him satisfyingly.”
★★★★ Ed Potton, Times
