About this listen
This time we take a look at Heretic, a horror/thriller film released in 2024, now streaming on Amazon Prime. The story follows two young missionaries who find themselves trapped in Mr Reed's home. To survive, they must rely on their faith in the face of darkness.
In our review, we explore three key themes. First, the idea of "iterations" – the suggestion that each faith is just a copy or evolution of another. Secondly, we look at the theme of control – the claim that all religion is about power and manipulation. Lastly, we explore how the film presents evil. This is a film of two halves – part psychological thriller, part spiritual commentary – and it leaves the viewer with more questions than answers. We take time to unpack the challenges it presents and dispel some of the myths it presents.
