positive · AI labelView post →First time I’ve seen this in the credits. Heretic. Great film too.
positive · AI labelView post →In other news, HERETIC was a solid flick with a sensational performance by Hugh Grant, Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East. It's not quite a horror movie, but it's a deeply unsettling exercise in power, control, faith and deception. I'll leave it at that but recommend checking it out.
positive · AI labelView post →HERETIC ENDING EXPLAINED: it means the movie is over and you can leave the theater :)
neutral · AI labelView post →Heretic is a bad Reddit movie do not engage with it the characters talk in Reddit posts to one another. I know it’s tempting because Hugh Grant is in the movie but it is not worth it
negative · AI labelView post →Marlon Wayans lists recent horror movies that could be spoofed in 'Scary Movie 6’ • ‘Sinners’ • ‘Get Out’ • ‘Nope’ • ‘Longlegs’ • ‘Heretic’ • ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ (via Comicbook)

neutral · AI labelView post →The 9 year old horror movie critic saw Heretic last night and loved it, which is both surprising because it’s very dialog driven and not surprising because he is related to me.
positive · AI labelView post →Wait, “Heretic” was a COMEDY??????????? Hugh Grant is nominated for best performance by a male actor in a motion picture — “musical or comedy” and wasn’t no singing in that movie!!!
neutral · AI labelView post →Heretic poses arguably the scariest question ever posed by a horror movie: What if you were stuck in a house with an r/atheism power user
positive · AI labelView post →Heretic is a movie about how much stuff you can do after being stabbed
neutral · AI labelView post →Enjoyed Heretic a lot. Have many thoughts about it, but my main one is that it's a movie about how, no matter what you feel about religion, we can all agree that New Atheism guys are the fuckin worst
positive · AI labelView post →The movie Heretic with Hugh Grant made me queasy enough that I had to turn it off halfway through.
negative · AI labelView post →Enjoyed Heretic, a movie that really captures what it feels like to talk to a militant atheist
positive · AI labelView post →Heretic with Hugh Grant has some EPIC writing. The movie is good, but some of the soliloquys are great.
positive · AI labelView post →watched Heretic last night I was pretty impressed Hugh Grant was the standout but it was all in all a very solid horror movie
positive · AI labelView post →BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL is a new documentary by @davidkittredge.bsky.social about John Boorman, the making of EXORCIST II: The Heretic, and the risk of big creative swings. It will have its world premiere Sept. 5th at the Venice International Film Festival. We're excited for you to see it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Another ancient one from the crypt, this time with @mikonasa.bsky.social's Heretic and my Frankie! She's fine, she's used to it. Heretic just has a certain way of casually being a wholeass horror movie production. XD
neutral · AI labelView post →HERETIC is a fun movie about the horror of being trapped in a house with Richard Dawkins
positive · AI labelView post →I watched COMPANION & HERETIC back to back & what a great, perfect Sophie Tatcher double feature! Sophie is quickly becoming one of my favorite artist working in film&tv: been a fan since #yellowjackets! Loved both movies! I had heard plenty about HERETIC, I knew nothing about Companion going in :)
positive · AI labelView post →Exclusive first look at the poster for the documentary Boorman and the Devil about the making of Exorcist II: The Heretic 🎥 The film will have its world premiere on September 5 at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival.
neutral · AI labelView post →Heretic is a film unafraid to leave you wrestling with some really big questions, like "where did Hugh Grant get that cute little cardigan" and "do you guys think I could pull it off"
positive · AI labelView post →Currently decommissioning the pc that helped me build music for Amid Evil + DLC, Prodeus + DLC, DOOM Eternals DLC's, the Iron Lung film score, DOOM + DOOM II's OST, Heretic + Hexen OST, Nightmare Reaper, Tokyo Underground Killer, and Wrath. I think it needs to be shadow boxed.

neutral · AI labelView post →“What does it say about Mormon media representation that the most sympathetic portrayal in recent memory involves missionaries getting violently tortured by a lunatic?” @mckaycoppins.bsky.social writes of the movie “Heretic”:
neutral · AI labelView post →watched Anora, Juror #2 and Heretic in the last 36 hours or so. Trying to catch up on the good ones. And they were all good! Anora was something else but Heretic will probably stay with me a while most fun movie I've seen recently? Carry-On on Netflix
positive · AI labelView post →🎞️ Excellent doc. I will to go back and watch Exorcist II: The Heretic with a new set of eyes. 🎞️ A favorite of 2026. 🎞️ Iconic! Favorite King book. A favorite De Palma film. 🎞️ An absolutely stunning piece of film art — patient, devastating, & hypnotizing. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky
neutral · AI labelView post →PS in Heretic when Hugh Grant’s character asks what’s the one true religion, what popped into my mind, in the context of the movie, was “misogyny”. But I guess “control” is just another word for misogyny anyway.
neutral · AI labelView post →Finally watched Heretic and holy cow that movie is a masterclass on tension
positive · AI labelView post →Introducing my books through the lazy medium of comparing them to great films 😀 HERETIC and LILITH both feature protagonists who preach the One True Religion. But Mr Reed’s, like most religions conceived by men, does NOT end well for women 😳
neutral · AI labelView post →An Unusual Reason ‘Heretic’ May Be The Best Movie Of 2024 www.forbes.com/sites/paulta... I will support any movie that specifically dunks on GenAI
neutral · AI labelView post →Scott Beck & Bryan Woods, the duo behind A Quiet Place and Heretic, are writing & directing a mysterious new high concept sci-fi movie for Amblin & Universal. Steven Spielberg will produce. No word yet on the plot, but Beck & Woods say the film is "thirty years in the making."
neutral · AI labelView post →Heretic is a reddit movie sorry
negative · AI labelView post →The Monopoly / religion spiel in HERETIC really might be the best written scene in any movie this decade. It’s God tier.
positive · AI labelView post →Heretic rules (the game, not the Hugh Grant movie, though that rules too). Is there anything cooler than being a pissed off wizard?
neutral · AI labelView post →Finally watched Heretic. I am glad I got to see Sophie Thatcher in Companion, which is a much better movie.
negative · AI labelView post →Still haven’t seen Boorman and the Devil, one of the year’s best docs? It makes its TCM debut Friday night, followed by a presentation of its subject, Exorcist II: The Heretic. #filmsky 📽 @davidkittredge.bsky.social @tcmtv.bsky.social
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched "Heretic," which is an excellently done horror flick. Hugh Grant got nominated for "Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy" at the Golden Globes for this movie, and friends, this movie is neither comedy nor musical.
positive · AI labelView post →Feed St. Francis some Heretic (2024) with #FrightClub Sunday at 10 PM ET. Available on Tubi, Hulu, and more. This is a safe space to talk about Taco Bell.
neutral · AI labelView post →Pizza and a movie date night (at home) with the wife. We're watching Heretic. Nobody told me this movie opened with the mormon gals talking about porn. 😆
neutral · AI labelView post →Fucking hell, Heretic is a weird film, isn’t it??
neutral · AI labelView post →Boorman and the Devil is a great feature-length documentary about the making of Exorcist II: The Heretic. Sitting between his Zardoz mask and his Excalibur sword, director John Boorman reflects on what went wrong. Out today in the USA + UK next month. 4 out of 5 film-authority.com/2026/08/28/b...
neutral · AI labelView post →Heretic is one of my favourite movies of the year. To me, it’s not a religious horror movie but a horror movie about rhetoric and discourse which is more relevant now than ever.
positive · AI labelView post →After brunch we saw the new movie HERETIC at my favorite haunted theatre, the Plaza Theatre in Atlanta.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched Heretic (horror movies aren't usually my thing but it was great) and you love to see a gen AI disclaimer in the credits
positive · AI labelView post →Heretic is the scariest movie I’ve ever seen because it’s just a man mansplaining religion, board games, Radiohead and Jar Jar Binks for 90 minutes.
negative · AI labelView post →Tonight's film Heretic (2024)
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched Heretic, an #a24 movie. 10/10 must watch for anyone who loves psycho thriller/ horror.
positive · AI labelView post →Yes, I want to see the film about EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC very much. Premiering in Venice!
neutral · AI labelView post →📽️ Now Watching: Heretic!
neutral · AI labelView post →I reviewed it for the US release, but quirky documentary Boorman and the Devil is finally out in UK cinemas. The Boorman is director John Boorman, and the devil is in the detail about how Exorcist II: The Heretic turned out to be a turkey for the ages. 4 out of 5. film-authority.com/2026/08/28/b...
neutral · AI labelView post →Over at the Spliced Personality Substack I reviewed BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL. David Kittredge's fantastic behind-the-scenes documentary screens this weekend at the Boston Underground Film Festival alongside EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC.

neutral · AI labelView post →Unused cover art (well, it was printed as the inside-cover-sleeve image, so reversible art for those who chose it for display) for Heretic DVD edition of THE LAST BROADCAST. Blockbuster 'thumbs down' on this as a cover, so a photo image that gave away the end of the movie was the cover instead!
