Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East in Heretic, plus more modern women killing the horror game
Scenario
Two young religious women are drawn into a game of cat-and-mouse in the house of a strange man..
The music at the end credits is a version of the 1973 version of "Knocking on Heavens Door" set to the tune of "Fade into You" by Mazzy Star
A nod to the fact that "Creep" by Radiohead is a 1992 reiteration (due to the melody) of the 1974 song "The Air That I Breathe" by The Hollies, previously mentioned by Grant in the movie..

The end credits state that no Generative Al was used in the making of the film..
In one outingAs you know I don’t do spoilers but there’s so much symbolism in this film , gameplay of board games being the most obviousBecause you have a preconceived idea of the roles that Hugh Grant plays & the English accent make him sound so trusting but like the leaking roof you’re being drip fed information as the film progressesWell worth seeing if you like hitchcockian mystery thrillersThe music score was so fitting , it’s all about beliefPad
The more you know, the less you knowThe trailer for this was amazing, actual film in many ways is better than the trailerAll three main protagonist were incredibly well acted, the mis en scene made you feel suitably claustrophobic & it would make a great stage playReligion & faith are the center of the story and the filmmakers have crafted an incredible journey where you the audience feel you know more than the missionaries at times but there are many dead ends in this mouse trap & you’ll never fully understand what you’re seeing. A 8/10.
