The Plot
Set in a remote archaeological dig site, Heretic follows a team of archaeologists who unearth an ancient artifact linked to a long-forgotten and malevolent force.

Dreams become nightmares, reality twists, and a dark presence seems to awaken, targeting their deepest fears and secrets.
As their mental stability begins to unravel, the group must confront not only the malevolent entity they’ve unleashed but also the shadows within their own minds. Hugh Grant delivers a haunting performance as a seasoned archaeologist whose rational worldview is shattered, forcing him to make impossible choices to survive.
