Heretic is an ominous, brazenly academic, and complex A24 horror film from co-writers/co-directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods (A Quiet Place) It's about Mormon missionaries Sister Barnes ( Sophie Thatcher ) and Sister Paxton ( Chloe East ) who are assigned to visit addresses who've previously signed up for further information about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

It's not until Mr. Reed reveals his more sinister methods of testing one's faith and enlightenment that the two women are in real danger.

Mr. Reed has built a maze-like trap for faith-driven women, one that manipulates them into doubting their beliefs as a distraction from the fact that they're being held captive by a homicidal man.

At the end of the day , this is a man who wants to exercise power over women.

Ultimately, it's not about religion and faith; it's about violent, male control.
