Prime Video is removing Hugh Grant’s “unforgettable” horror very soon

by

If you’re a Prime Video subscriber, don’t wait to watch the thought-provoking horror film Heretic, starring Hugh Grant in a chilling performance. It’s leaving the service soon! Written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, it won’t be available for much longer.

The movie centers around two Mormon missionaries, Sister Barnes and Sister Paxton, whose efforts to share their faith door-to-door lead them to a peculiar man named Mr. Reed.

When the women tell Reed they only enter homes with a woman present, he reassures them his wife is home and welcomes them inside for a potentially dangerous discussion about religion.

The film’s suspenseful ending will have you questioning what will happen next, and whether Reed is a real danger or simply a man who likes to talk a lot.

You can watch the movie Heretic on Prime Video until May 11th. It features one of Grant’s most memorable villainous performances—though many fans still consider his role in Paddington 2 to be his best! If you haven’t seen it or want to watch it again, now’s your chance, as it will be leaving the streaming service after that date.
