Review: In ‘Heretic,’ an affable predator meets his match: Mormon missionaries

In contrast to “A Quiet Place,” a screenplay that made writers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods famous by being a silent, high-concept monster movie where characters communicate minimally, their newest film, titled “Heretic,” is characterized by extensive dialogue. It’s a thought-provoking drama set within confined spaces, featuring philosophical discussions, debates, and verbal conflicts. Despite the abundance of words, the outcomes remain equally intense and nerve-wracking.
