- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Fueled by a deviously charming performance by Hugh Grant, “Heretic” gives us something different until it runs out of creative gas in its last act.
- Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
- Excerpt: The writer-director team of Scott Beck and Bryan Woods thrive on creating stories that unfold in unique circumstances… Grant’s performance is incredibly unsettling as his calm demeanour masks a sadistic need to be right at all costs.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: The account delves into how faith can be manipulated, but the premise succumbs to horror tropes, destroying the intelligent discussion it initially promised.
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: Heretic is scary because of what happens but even more scary because of what it makes you think about.
- Jared Mobarak @ The Film Stage
- Excerpt: Credit the strength of Grant’s performance too—a fork-tongued vaudeville act meant to distract us as much as his victims. HERETIC might not be as smart as it thinks, but boy is it fun.
- Andrew Wyatt @ The Take-Up
- [New] | Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: A clever blockbuster that uses elements of a thriller and horror to tell us something —about religion, about the faithful and their leaders, and eventually, about systems of control.
