Heretic

Heretic (2024) unspools as a tense cat-and-mouse game between two naive missionaries and Mr. Reed, a maniacal host who turns their faith into a sinister test. The film's claustrophobic atmosphere and sharp dialogue underscore the escalating peril as the missionaries struggle to reconcile their beliefs with the reality of their captor’s lethal game. Director John Erick Dowdle crafts a relentless psychological drama that exposes the vulnerabilities of righteousness when confronted with pure malevolence.
