Movie review: ‘Heretic’ (2022)
By John Smith
In a small, conservative town, a group of teenagers decide to play a prank on the local church. They break in and vandalize the property, not realizing that they have unleashed an ancient evil. As the teenagers start to disappear, the town is gripped by fear and paranoia. A mysterious stranger arrives in town, claiming to be a heretic hunter. He warns the townspeople that the only way to stop the evil is to find and kill the heretics.
The teenagers must now race against time to find the heretics and stop the evil before it consumes the entire town. But who are the heretics? And can they be trusted?
‘Heretic’ is a cautionary horror tale about the dangers of intolerance and extremism. The film follows a group of teenagers as they learn the hard way that there is always a price to pay for their actions.
The film is well-made and the acting is strong. The story is engaging and the suspense builds steadily throughout the film. However, the film’s ending is a bit of a letdown. It’s unclear what happens to the teenagers and the town, and the film’s message is a bit too heavy-handed.
Overall, ‘Heretic’ is a solid horror film that is worth watching. It’s not perfect, but it’s a good way to spend a couple of hours.
