Fans were recently treated to a secret screening of Hugh Grant's newest film, Heretic, and their reactions have been nothing short of intense. The 64-year-old actor, known for his charming roles in Love Actually and Bridget Jones's Diary, took on a completely different persona in this chilling horror flick. His portrayal of Mr. Reed, a mysterious and manipulative character, has left viewers stunned and terrified.
In the film, Paxton and Barnes attempt to convert Mr. Reed, but instead find themselves trapped in his house of horrors. To win their freedom, they are forced to endure a series of psychological games and challenges. This is a role unlike any other we've seen Hugh play before, and many are calling it the best project of his career.
After a recent screening at Fantastic Fest in Texas, social media was flooded with rave reviews. Reyna Cervantes gushed about the film's philosophical approach to horror, while also praising Hugh's terrifying performance. Others, like Koda and Chelsea Nicole, were surprised to find themselves crying during the film, a testament to its gripping nature.
Critics have also been singing the film's praises. John Flickinger declared it his favorite film of the festival, while Certified Forgotten described it as "wonderfully twisted" and Hugh's character as "delightfully dangerous" yet "funny and unnerving." It's safe to say that Heretic has left a lasting impression on all who have seen it.
While this may not be Hugh's first time playing a villain, it is a role he thoroughly enjoyed. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, he joked that no one wants to see him play the romantic lead anymore and that he's happy to leave that behind. He also discussed the appeal of playing a villain, noting that there is more depth and complexity in those characters.
Heretic is set to be released in the UK on November 1st and in the US on November 15th. With its gripping storyline and Hugh's captivating performance, it's sure to be a hit. So mark your calendars and prepare to be scared out of your wits. As Hugh himself said, "there always seems to be more juice in an evil character." And we couldn't agree more.
