Movie #3448 ........................."Heretic" (on the plane)

 Moie #3448 "Heretic" (on the plane)  I am not the usual viewer of films that would be mostly classified in the Horror genre, but because Hugh Grant was in it, I thought I'd try it.  Ugh!  I fell for the new trick with selling Horror pictures these days  --- get a famous star to raise the quality of the film in acting, etc.  and you may possibly get more people suckered into watching these films.  He's good,  and that and the set and the music, and the two girls he has imprisoned in his home all raise the quality of this one.  But I don't care how much quality there is in a film like this, I question the theme.  I don't feel any better after watching something like this; I don't feel I have learned anything, and I am usually left with a so what.  There is an interesting debate on religion here, for a few minutes, but the rest of the time is filled with creepy talk and blood.  Not for me.  I give it 2.8, and I don't recommend it.

"HERETIC"        2024       R    1 hour and 51 minutes (no wonder i thought it was long!)

Two young religious women are drawn into a game of cat-and-mouse in the house of a strange man.
