A24’s ‘Heretic’ Starring Hugh Grant Rated “R” for “Bloody Violence”

From directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, A24 will release Heretic in theaters on November 8, 2024, and the horror film’s official MPA rating has been turned in this week.

Heretic starring Hugh Grant has been rated “R” for “some bloody violence.”

Watch the previously released “Official Trailer 2” below.

Hugh Grant (D&D: Honor Among Thieves), Chloe East (The Fabelmans) and Sophie Thatcher (“Yellowjackets”) lead the cast of the upcoming horror movie. In the film…

“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.”

Heretic made its world premiere earlier this month at TIFF, which resulted in the first reviews hitting the internet. One thing that critics agreed on: Hugh Grant shines as the devious Mr. Reed. The Heretic trailer below is only a tease of his style of madness.

Scott Beck and Bryan Woods wrote A Quiet Place with director John Krasinski, and they just wrote/directed the high concept Adam Driver dinosaur movie 65 last year. The duo also wrote/directed Haunt and penned the Stephen King horror film The Boogeyman.
