“Heretic” (** out of four) was a tiresome horror drama about two religious women (Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East) who are drawn into a game of cat-and-mouse when they are enticed into the home of a creepy older man (Hugh Grant) who takes delight in teasing and tormenting them. Initially holds you attention with its aura of tense malevolence but you soon realize that aura is all it has and it never goes anywhere beyond that and gets off the ground. Grant is first-rate in image-altering role for him.
