A24's Heretic Sets Max Premiere Date (Feb. 12)

https://deadline.com/2025/02/heretic-streaming-premiere-date-max-1236286843/

["In 'Heretic,' two young missionaries (Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East)
from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are forced to prove
their faith when they knock on the wrong door and are greeted by a
diabolical Mr. Reed (Hugh Grant), becoming ensnared in his deadly game
of cat-and-mouse. "]

March 7.

Cool. Been looking forward to this one (even though Sophie Thatcher is
another one who has ruined her looks with cosmetic surgery - and too bad
too, in someone so young...).

Weren't you just complaining about A24?

I have layers!!  :p

Snarf

Ian  (Real answer: I'm making an exception for "Heretic" as I think it
might be promising, despite A24's involvement. Also, A24's "Bodies
Bodies Bodies" was actually mostly OK, as was the "X/Maxine" trilogy.
IOW, A24 has an OK record with "horror"...)

Bodies Bodies Bodies was relentlessly mediocre. Yeah, you expect
derivative but they did nothing with it and some of the characters were
just hateable, not entertaining.
