SPOILER WARNING: The following article gives away everything that happens in the Heretic ending, so we pray you have already seen the film before you continue reading. Belief is a powerful thing. The question is, what is it that influences us to believe in the things that we do believe in? A new horror movie called Heretic presents a theory that is undeniably thought-provoking and will likely prove maddening to some audiences.
The new 2024 movie from writers and directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, and also the latest A24 film , stars Hugh Grant as Mr. Reed, who embroils visiting Mormon missionaries Sister Barnes (Sophie Thatcher) and Sister Paxton (Chloe East) into a deadly game of wits as part of an experiment to unlock the mystery of religious faith. What is the conclusion to his experiment and what else can we interpret from what CinemaBlend’s Heretic review calls one of the best horror movies of 2024? Let us bow our heads and find out by taking a deeper look at the Heretic ending.
What Happens At The End Of Heretic The final act of Heretic sets in motion when Sister Barnes, after challenging the outcome of Mr. Reed’s resurrection experiment as just a near-death experience, has her throat slit open by the man. He then digs into her arm to find a metal object that he believes indicates she is an artificial human, echoing the “Prophet’s” claim that life is merely a simulation.
However, Paxton explains that the object is a contraceptive and further debunks the Pro.
