The Heretics

To be honest...I almost turned the movie off when it started off slow. But I told myself....wait...give it just a few more minutes, and I am glad I did!! When the movie got going, it did not disappoint with the creepiness and a few scares that made me jump. I like the surprising twists it gave causing me to sit on the edge trying to figure it out. I'm definitely going to watch again especially to see if I notice anything new.

Minor twists that are shocking, but they are done well. Nothing new is explored in this film, but what they do they do well. If this is your type of movie, it is a pleasant time spent.

Yeah, some of the acting in this film is certainly not going to win any awards, but it's really not that bad at all. I've seen much worse from A list actors (I'm looking at you everyone in Killing of a Sacred Deer). And honestly, for an indie movie, it's easily on par with many I've seen.

Visually the film is very good. There are some nice shots, solid practical effects, and good locations. The story isn't revolutionary but I did appreciate the few twists, even though the ending left a little to be desired.

Overall I've seen much worse and this one is worth a watch for horror junkies.

I think the acting was good perhaps the writing was off or directing. The story was good so I'm going to point toward the writing which is needed to develop the characters right. The actors tried with what they had. I'd recommend no problem to a B movie fan like myself. One thing I am getting sick of is the "not a happy ending" BS. Someone started that as a new twist about a decade ago and now there is no such thing as a happy ending anymore. Which makes it actually depressing in the end. A bad societal norms that has come along if that makes sense. Overall B+ for my B movie love

This movie is pretty much a well worn tale, and low budget. There had been many movies with higher budgets, that with better marketing, were hugely profitable. If you are time constrained, yea, this is probably not a movie to see. However, it is not a bad watch, is okay, and beats quite a few higher rated flicks. This will not blow your mind by any means, but it entertains. Shrugs to the ppl complaining about acting, which is fine in an okay way.
