Episode 28: Heretic


Listen Later

Two missionaries knock on the wrong door… and step into a theological nightmare.

In this episode, we dive deep into Heretic, the slow-burn psychological horror that traps belief, doubt, and manipulation inside a single house and lets the tension suffocate the room. Powered by a chilling performance from Hugh Grant, Heretic trades jump scares for intellectual dread, turning conversation into combat and faith into a weapon.

We break down the film’s themes of control, skepticism, and spiritual vulnerability, unpack the layered dialogue, and explore why this might be one of the most unsettling horror films in recent years.
