Heretic Blu-ray Special Features List
Two young missionaries (Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East) are forced to prove their faith when they knock on the wrong door and are greeted by a diabolical Mr. Reed (Hugh Grant). Made to choose between belief and disbelief, they find themselves plunged into the darkest labyrinths of Reed's mind and a deadly game of cat-and-mouse in this twisted horror from writer-directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods (A Quiet Place).
Here is the complete list of special features and early specs on the release:
- DOLBY ATMOS AUDIO TRACK
- Audio commentary with Scott Beck and Bryan Woods
- Seeing is Believing: Behind the Scenes of Heretic
- On-set Photography by Kimberly French
- Optional English SDH and Spanish subtitles for the main feature
This is my favorite performance of Grant's career. I could listen to him give long speeches like this all day, and he is leaning into his villain era. It has brought out a whole new side of him that I didn't expect to get at this point in his filmography, and one can only hope that he gets more roles like this in the future. Not just the loveable cad but a cold, calculating, sinister man who sends chills down your spine.
