Heretic

About This Movie

Heretic (2024) by Scott Beck takes a pretty interesting angle on faith and horror. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and it plays with the concept of belief in a way that feels fresh. The pacing is deliberately slow at times, which actually heightens the dread—just when you think it might drag, something unsettling happens. The performances are solid, especially from the actor portraying Mr. Reed; he’s creepy without going overboard. Practical effects are used effectively, delivering some raw moments without a reliance on CGI. Overall, it carves a niche by blending religious themes with classic horror elements, which isn’t something you see every day.
