Hugh Grant’s upcoming horror movie Heretic has unveiled yet another trailer, and whilst this one is only a minute long, it gives us a better look at Grant’s Jigsaw-like sadistic homeowner.
The trailer opens with ‘The Air That I Breathe’ by The Hollies playing in the background whilst the camera pans to a framed picture of a young Grant alongside a number of various religious artefacts. In the rest of the clip, we see Grant’s villain setting up what looks like various traps around his house, even going as far as to build a model of the home and write ‘Belief’ and ‘Disbelief’ on two doors as it was an escape room of sorts. All the while, two young female missionaries are on the way to his house. We can only imagine what horror lies ahead for them there. Watch the full trailer…
Near-perfect RT scores doesn’t always mean much for horror unfortunately - the critics are already a self-selected bunch who’ll give anything serviceable in the genre they like an ‘good enough’ rating (same thing happens with docos). Still, it sounds like a film I’d like to check out.
