Remember the charming, aloof Hugh Grant that was the star of so many romantic comedies back in the day? Yeah, that Hugh Grant is nowhere to be found in the 2024 new movie Heretic , a psychological thriller from A24 that sees Grant make a creepy villain turn.
To find out more about Heretic , read on to for all the information we have on the movie, including when it is coming out, who stars alongside Grant and its trailer.

A24 has given Heretic a premiere date of November 15 in the US exclusively in movie theaters. It is set to arrive a week later, November 22, for UK movie fans.
Heretic cast
As we mentioned, Hugh Grant is best known for his roles in many classic romantic comedies, including Four Weddings and a Funeral , Notting Hill and Love, Actually , but in recent years he has been embracing a darker side, playing the villain role in a number of movies.

"Two young missionaries are forced to prove their faith when they knock on the wrong door and are greeted by a diabolical Mr. Reed, becoming ensnared in his deadly game of cat-and-mouse."
