HERETIC
Bryan Woods & Scott Beck | USA 2024 | 110 min | OV
Theatrical release: 26.12.2024 | Distributed by: Filmladen
On a missionary tour, Mormon nuns Sister Paxton (Cloe East) and Sister Barnes (Sophie Thatcher) knock on the door of the charming Mr. Reed (Hugh Grant) – and soon find themselves trapped. In a game of cat and mouse, they have to prove their faith, but that alone will not be enough to get them out of their predicament.
In recent years, Hugh Grant has proven several times that he has a knack for the dark and enraptured beyond his romcom image. As the diabolical, philosophical villain, he is in top form in HERETIC, also thanks to his equally terrific counterparts East and Thatcher (who was also raised Mormon in real life). Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, the writing duo behind A QUIET PLACE, tackle essential questions of faith with their highly suspenseful, intelligent and darkly humorous horror thriller.

BLACK CHRISTMAS
Bob Clark | CA 1974 | 98 min | OV
In a student dormitory, everything is already geared up for Christmas, snow is on the doorstep and the angelic children’s choir is moving from house to house. An excellent starting point for a wonderful holiday for Jessy (Olivia Hussey) and her fellow students, were it not for a nameless psychopath hiding in the attic. Or an anonymous caller terrorizing the young women. The first corpse soon turns up and anyone familiar with the genre knows that it won’t stop at one…
A full four years before HALLOWEEN (1978), Bob Clark delivered a proto-slasher that is often overlooked, offering pretty much everything that was to make the genre so famous in a Christmas package: The subjective view of the killer, spectacular murders and an ending as black as the Christmas in the title!
