Hugh Grant, once one of the most popular leading men of romantic comedies, has gone dark in recent years with more villainous turns. He has another that fans are excited to see in Heretic. The buzzy A24 horror movie is now playing, so we’ve got everything you need to know about how to watch Heretic right here.
After a campy villainous turn in Paddington 2 and playing shady if not outright bad guys in some Guy Ritchie movies, Grant once again appears to be relishing in a diabolical role in this psychological thriller where he leads a pair of religious women into a cat-and-mouse game designed to test their faith.
If you’re excited to watch Heretic, read on as we have all the information you need to know about when and where the movie is playing right now, including whether or not Heretic is streaming.
How to watch Heretic in movie theaters
Heretic is now playing in movie theaters in the US, UK and elsewhere around the world.
In order to find Heretic showtimes, it’s best to check out Fandango, which can show you all of the movie theaters in your area where the movie is playing and what the available screenings are. You can also purchase your Heretic ticket directly through Fandango.
Another option for frequent moviegoers that may have a particular movie theater is movie theater subscription and membership programs. Offered by various US and UK movie theater chains, in addition to showing when and where Heretic is playing at a specific theater, these programs give perks like free, discounted or monthly allotments of movie tickets, as well as deals on concessions for fans to enjoy.
Is Heretic streaming?
Heretic is not available as part of the included lineup of any major streaming platform, but it is available for at-home viewing as of December 10.
Those in the US can digitally buy or rent Heretic via on-demand platforms, including Prime Video, Google Play, Apple TV, Fandango at Home and YouTube.
There are still no confirmed details about Heretic’s streaming plans right now, but we can make some educated guesses. After we assume its initial run on on-demand platforms, Heretic is most likely to make its streaming debut in the US on Max, just like other A24 movies from 2024 have done recently. An exact timeline for Heretic to arrive on Max is not known at this time.
