British actor Hugh Grant, iconic for his romantic comedies, is shifting gears! He will be headlining the behind-closed-doors horror film Heretic. It tells the story of two pious young women trapped in the home of an eccentric man.
Immediately discover the first images of the film, which will be released in France on December 4, 2024.
Around Hugh Grant, actresses Chloe East and Sophie Thatcher will play the two main female roles. The latter was one of the revelations of the Yellowjackets series and is also featured in the horror film The Bogeyman. Soon we will see him in the casting of MaXXXine. As for Chloe East, she was in the credits for Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans.
Heretic is directed by Scott Beck and Brian Woods, who previously directed ’65 with Adam Driver. Scott Beck also worked as a screenwriter on the first two installments of Quiet.
In the US, the film is distributed by A24, whose editorial line is well-defined for picking little nuggets that get people talking. Will this first foray into the horror genre from Hugh Grant get people talking? The answer in our darkrooms at the end of the year.
