Grim and sweaty! - The Heretics review by NP
This Canadian film takes a while to get going, but it is worth sticking around. The initial sight of pretty people basking in their love threatens to topple into soap opera petting, but things are soon turned on their head – as the opening ritual indicates they might.
Everything works well here, and there are some very satisfying twists in the story that certainly fooled me. These twists don’t stop until the very end and it is up to the individual to decide whether they’re all as successful as they might be: I thoroughly enjoyed being led by Director Chad Archibald through the maze of his and Jamie Laforest’s story.
The acting is good throughout, but mention should be made of Nina Kiri as the unfortunate Gloria, Ry Barrett as the equally wretched Thomas and Jorja Cardence the feisty Joan.
Grim and sweaty, this is an atmospheric and satisfying horror. My score is 8 out of 10.
