Synopsis : Two young missionaries from the Mormon church in a small town in Colorado go door to door in the hope of converting the residents. In the evening, after an unsuccessful day, they decide to knock on the door of an isolated house. It is the charming Mr Reed who welcomes them there. But very quickly, the young women realize that they have fallen into a trap. The house is a real labyrinth where they will only be able to count on their ingenuity and their intelligence to stay alive…
Hugh Grant plays this charming Mr Reed, a role against employment for the British actor, more accustomed to romcoms. While the storm rages outside, he opens the door of his modest home to two missionaries from theMormon Churchsister Paxton (Chloe East) and Sister Barnes (Sophie Thatcher).
Less gullible than they appear, the two young prudes who go door to door in the hope of converting lost souls, do not feel safe in the presence of their host who, however, seems to know all the answers to the religious questions they raise. But as the embarrassment sets in, the trap has, in reality, already closed.
Bavardthe first third ofHeretic done gently increase the pressureand it is even quite original to watch a thriller in which no one wants to hurt or rush the other. While the two sisters try to maintain a composure in front of their interlocutor, the latter tries not to frighten them. Unless…
Here, the subject of religion is not treated under the redundant prism of possession but for what it is, according to some: an indoctrination of the weakest. In addition to its numerous breaks in tone, moving from humor to anguish in a skillful manner – even making one overflow into the other, Heretic seeks above all to establish a criticism of mind control. From there to frighten?
It’s all there: one debunkage rule of monotheistic religions, a paradox of doors to borrow, a leap into prophetic faitha heavy lesson in midwifery, and even a choice of matrices in the will to believe or not. The result is a theological gloubi-boulga which, if not having made us shiver or provoked any existential crisis, will have given us a hell of a headache.
