Heretic is a film with a deep basement that you’d rather not go into, so join us as we root around down there. Filled with psychological tension, half baked symbolism and Hugh Grant as an actually pretty spellbinding villain, we explore why Heretic’s promising first half collapses under its own ambition. Expect spoilers, discussion of horror versus thriller and tangents that include 1985’s Clue and the Dungeons and Dragons franchise.

We also manage to mention: The Exorcist, Seven, Silence of the Lambs, and A24-style horror.
