Eric Bartsch Cultured Vultures Oct 31, 2019
Atmospherics and jump-scares work here effectually. The use of light, tenebrous as it is, is also adept. Go to Full Review

Alejandro C @Alejandro1950 Mar 5, 2025 Una auténtica porquería de película. Malo el guión y lamentable y patético el final . En resumen: Muy mala 🥶 See more Cristian s @cristiansj Oct 21, 2024 No importa tanto el presupuesto ni si tenes actores famosos en pantalla, si contas una historia con una premisa interesante, buen ritmo y un final decente la película funciona siempre, ese es el caso de The Heretics. Sacando algún cliché es concreta y no plantea mas de lo que puede. Grata sorpresa. See more Logan D @Greynomad38 Aug 26, 2023 Years after being kidnapped by a cult, a young woman is kidnapped again. But this time it's a single man who says he is protecting her from the same cult. Dialogue issues aside, this is a well done little horror flick. Kiri gives a great performance but I can't spoil why. And I loved the design of the wooden masks the cultists wear. Skilled usage of light. See more Feb 12, 2022 It's an interesting premise, and has an awesome conclusion, but it's soo ugly throughout, and felt a little cliché in parts. There's some interesting twists along the way. See more Dec 5, 2021 This film I thought very good, not often it happens but it left me very disturbed for quite a while, that hadn't happened since the scene in wolf creek where they woke up as prisoners after the evening round the camp fire with 'Mick' See more Feb 6, 2021 Very unrealistic and not believable whatsoever and way too many flaws it just gets worse and more unbelievable as it goes on See more Read all reviews
