Mr Reed is stabbed in the neck with a letter opener, which he then pulls out. This would cause blood to leak out all over his hand, clothes, the floor…but later in the basement, there's little evidence of this when near the trapdoor. Reed: I promise you, the last thing I wanted to do was find the one true religion – but unfortunately, I did.. The end credits state that no Generative Al was used in the making of the film..

Reed, delivering a performance that's nothing short of captivating

Grant's portrayal, layered with a quiet intensity, draws us into the mystery of Reed's character, skillfully weaving charm and menace. The dialogue is elegantly crafted, with a razor-sharp wit that is self-aware and relatable enough that you can imagine a similar dialogue (and maybe just as scary) happening after Thanksgiving dinner between a few salty relatives. It's the kind of banter that delights as much as it disturbs, showing that the screenwriters knew how to dance with words and really capitalize on Grant's electric everyman charm plot itself , a steadily simmering suspense that feels almost Hitchcockian good). Yet, unlike Hitchcock's masterpieces, where each action feels inevitable, Reed's journey teeters precariously on the edge of believability, but never really lands there for me. While we're willing to suspend disbelief for a while, waiting to hear Reed's motivator, the film's premise ultimately strains under the weight of its own ambitions.

It's as though the filmmakers were intent on building a labyrinth but forgot to place a satisfying prize at its center

Mr. Reed's improbable decisions-and the film's insistence that these are plausible-leave one questioning not only his motives but perhaps even the script's own coherence. Sure, the payoff leads to Reed's main point, philosophically, but his actions in the end seem so bizarre and unjustified by the plot that I was scratching my head trying to figure out why he didn't just start a skeptics YouTube channel and be done with it.In the end, we're left with a hollow aftertaste, a sense of having been led to a precipice only to find the bridge unbuilt. While Grant's performance deserves commendation, even his talent can't fully bridge the gap between the film's fascinating setup and its underwhelming resolution a weak plot move that feels like throwing a bone to the losing philosophical side on the off chance you offended someone.In sum, Heretic is a beautiful journey through the maze with Grant manhandling the role from start to finish, even if it leaves you feeling somewhat lost upon reaching its incomplete end.
