What is the plot of the Heretic movie?

In this new horror thriller from A24, Mormon missionaries Sister Barnes (Sophie Thatcher) and Sister Paxton (Chloe East) unwittingly enter the home of the reclusive Mr. Reed (Grant).

Excited to discuss religion and faith with the strange man, they realise they’re in danger a little too late. They become trapped in his house with no obvious way out and are forced to play a fatal game of cat and mouse, which Mr. Reed has designed himself. 

With no help coming, the girls must turn to their faith despite the diabolical Mr. Reed setting every scheme to make them see that religion is nothing but control. Will they stay true to their faith or will they succumb to his “one true religion”?

Heretic is written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, who also produced the movie with Stacey Sher, Julia Glausi, and Jeanette Volturno.
