Our Take On Heretic’s Success

Heretic Is Not A Conventional Horror Film

Having watchedHeretic , I can not aid but be a little ( agreeably ) surprised at how far it has come . sport high - minded themes and meditations on the meaning of faith and feeling , Heretictakes a very different attack to the genre than something likeTarot , which is far more conventional horror fare . Perhaps it ’s this singularity that audiences are responding to , propelling them to the theatre of operations even as large - budget competitors likeGladiator IIandWickedget released .
