I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

I had never heard of this film but my brother had gave me it in a bagful of DVD's he didn't want. After watching the film it's perfectly clear why he gave it away. It would be a decent student film for a final college piece (It's not even Uni student quality), within the first five minutes there's a whole scene where the cameraman's shadow is clearly seen throughout, add to that boom's in shot, badly recorded sound in places (especially in an early pub scene) and it's very tiring to try and ignore them. The acting is uniformly dreadful throughout but that is also hampered by the excrementally bad script which has huge plot holes and so much exposition that most of the characters spend all their time explaining to each other what's going on rather than reacting to the events as would be natural. Fair play to the cast and crew for getting it made but it's still tosh of lowest order

This was a strange little film. Obviously made on a low budget and with some serious lack of direction at times but for all its failings it has a couple of good moments in it. The fact the budget was small does mean we don't get loads of awful and completely unjustified and non-scary CGI, so there is some good news!Without spoiling anything there is obviously a connection to the several recent crimes and unsavoury actions of certain priests, bishops, and others clergymen that should be displaying the best qualities in people, not dwelling into the seedy descent and diabolic degrading going ons they have since been accused of.Anyway, it reminded me of Angel Heart in some ways but not nearly as good. For me though far more promising than chucky or even the awful insidious 2!

I gave it a 4! Cause today I am happy and generous!OK, so it's not a complete waste of time, not your average B movie, more of a C category, could fill up some time if you seriously have nothing better to do, still I wouldn't recommend it. It goes hand in hand with "The Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh", a tad bit of a different approach on the Christianity subject, but overall, it will bore you. So, yeah, try something different this time, as "Heretic" is maybe too slow, maybe lacks a serious budget and the director couldn't fully fulfill his dream, anyway, somewhere, something kinda died. But still, believe it or not, it gets better with time. Not so much a +, more of a...what a beginning.Heretic, an OK movie, that will disappoint the most!

No, this not a slow burning horror, it's more like a slow paced attempt at a horror film.No, there are not lots of scares and moments that will have you jumping out of your seat (there's a few attempts to do this, but none of them actually come off - also, someone needs to tell the director that simply turning up the volume in order to try and scare people is just annoying, especially when you do it over and over again).No, this film is not well acted. The acting is mostly just okay, but mixed with moments of cringe-worthy acting fails.No, this film is not well paced - in fact, in several places I almost reached for the remote to hit the fast forward button. The middle section is quite repetitive (for no good reason) with all the various visitors coming and going.Basically this movie could have been a short film - in fact, it probably should have been - but the decision to extend it's length just turned it into a rather slow and very average attempt at horror.Like I said earlier, I strongly suspect that the glowing reviews for this film were written by crew members, or friends of the director, because this is definitely not a memorable horror film.It's a b-grade movie at best, and while there are hints of talent and skill, they are still a wee way off coming to fruition.
