@@leifhesse The implication is that they believed him about the pie because they could smell it, but then they realized the scent was artificial. That one lie then calls everything else into question as well. Also possible she got weird vibes, or there were other tells, but we haven't seen the whole movie yet homie.
@@leifhesse Because he claims that his wife is home and that there's a blueberry pie in the oven, which they can smell, so they believe him. She realises the candle is the real source of the smell of blueberry pie: therefore, no real pie smell = no pie = quite possibly no wife. It proves he's tricked them. He's lied to get them inside his home and that means they are no longer safe. Absolutely chilling.
My son and I saw this film last night and all I can say is wow. This is the reason why I go to the movie theater. Such a fantastic and thought provoking movie. We left with so many questions, but in a good way. We wanted to watch it again as soon it was over because I know we missed a lot. Great story, acting, writing, cinematography, just everything. I was frozen for the first hour. Two thumbs up. A must watch if you’re a true movie buff.
He was great as kind of a bad guy in a comedy documentary Death to 2020 and its sequel Death to 2021. Of course depending on how your year went, you may want to avoid it.
Not giving away the entire plot or relying on a barrage of jump scares, simply introducing the setting and building the atmosphere. Yeah, that was a well-made trailer.
But God has helped me to this very day; so I stand here and testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen- that the Messiah would suffer and, as the first to rise from the dead, would bring the message of light to his own people and to the Gentiles. Acts 26:22-23
@@TheRealWattLife they showed them having to choose a door to go through and that's it. Do you already know everything that happens from that point on? No.
Three things: 1) A trailer opening with The Hollies Air that I Breathe will always grab my attention; 2) casting Hugh Grant in a horror film is a stroke of genius; 3) the film generally looks brilliant and gives me future classic vibes

Shout out A24 for simply having a picture of Hugh Grant for a thumbnail because I was like "Hugh Grant?....in a A24 movie?"... and now I'm looking forward to watch this movie!
people act like everything they touch turns to gold. yet lots of shit comes out of the studio. all they do is produce stuff... they have no relation to the creative process other than that. I have been disappointed plenty by A24. Anyone who praises them like this is an edgelord who fancies themselves a movie critic
Such a great film concept! Just like the thought process of an Auschwitz guard in 1943: "What happens to an adherent's religious beliefs when he or she is tortured? Let's find out."
apparently he almost didn't outlive his romcom years. Hugh was notoriously difficult to work with and studios stopped calling him for a while. He must have chilled out these past few years.
He was always a really good actor. Maurice (1987) was the movie that made me realize that. People need to watch the movie Maurice. His character in the book version is terrible but Hugh managed to find the humanity and vulnerability in him.
My far-fetched theory: it’s a storyline similar to the Greek mythology about the Minotaur that resides in the middle of the labyrinth. Each year they would send in youths and maidens into the labyrinth as a sacrificial offering to the Minotaur (he eats them). This old guy seems like a mad scientist/inventor and maybe he somehow was able to reanimate his dead wife and she’s now like some zombie lady who needs to be trapped inside the maze he created. Her “resurrection from the dead” is why he said they’d witness a miracle. He sends in people into the maze to feed her. Hey man, like I said, far-fetched theory.
HG's character answers the door, holding a watering can on a rainy day. He says his wife is " home." He lights the blueberry pie candle right in front of them. If this character wanted to do something discreetly, it seems like he would. It's like he's testing how far he can go on the strength of the ladies' subconscious acceptance of what he says versus what their environment demonstrates. I'm looking forward to seeing this!
You're not wrong, but I don't think watering indoor plants when it's raining is a red flag? :P I'm not hating, though, you make good points about the other stuff.
@lolomcspanky I agree. I can't firmly decide if it was significant or not. But, it stood out to me every time I've watched the trailer. Of course, he could be just watering indoor plants. The watering can there in his hand though just keeps being like a loose thread I want to pull on...❤️✨️
I bet this will be a reoccuring theme in the movie and a critique on the church in general. Like what the church says versus what their environment demonstrates.
I just got back from seeing this film and all I can say is I am literally blown away. The acting (especially HUGH GRANT AND SOPHIE THATCHER!!!), the writing and everything about this film was so methodical and deep that it constantly hits you with plot twist after plot twister. To call this a horror movie is an understatement. This whole film is ART.
All of those years that he was type casted in Romcoms may have paid the bills but this is the type of role that Hugh should be in! Can't wait to see this!
Glad to see Hollywood finally starting to get it right with the trailers; showing just enough, and not tryna cramp the entire movie into a 3-minute montage with overused sound effects. The trailer for "Longlegs" blew my mind, too... Absolutely love to see it. Bravo, A24!!!
The movie is called Heretic and ties into the history of the word as it has been associated with the history of the Christian religion as the word is based on the Ancient Greek word: Haeretikos, which means, "I choose". Brilliant title and movie theming.
I wouldn’t really consider the LDS church Christian’s. They don’t uphold the doctrine of the Trinity which is an absolutely necessary core belief for any true Christian denomination. Not trying to diss on the LDS church but their beliefs simply do not align with Protestants, Catholics, or Orthodox which are the three main Christian denominations.
@justingary5322 Disproving evolution theory does not *prove the existence of a highly defined human-like God* It suggests- not proves- that the world was, at some point, created. But it's one megalithic assumption to decide, on spec, that the creator of all existence is a human-like man with identical emotions and identical ideology on the role of duty, hierachy, fealty, sacrifice, shame, and punishment. That is one massive leap indeed.
I watched this trailer a few times now and I feel like I might know what the story is about. I'm just blind guessing but I feel like there are solid hints. Hugh Grant is the follower of an esoteric and ancient religious practice. Likely, they'll mix it in with general occultism. In ancient Greece, there was something called the Eleusinian Mysteries. While there's a lot behind them, the short and general of it is they were rituals where a person ingested a psychedelic substance called Kykeon. This is done before the person was then sent into a temple which was a kind of religious maze or labyrinth. It was set up in such a way that the themes and experiences inside the temple reflected the message of the ritual as a whole. You basically would go in, lose your mind on this psychedelic while traversing the ritual themed maze, then emerge as a completely reborn person. Some described this ritual as being so powerful and so profound that initiates would lose their fear of death entirely because they genuinely believed they experienced God or the afterlife or something extremely divine in nature. The Greek style statue that gets revealed when Hugh flips the switch at 1:18 makes me think they're leaning in that direction. The fact the room he's standing in is filled with religious symbols from different faiths (There's a menorah and a Shiva statue on the bookshelves to his right and left at 1:23) - The implication being he studies religion and probably dives into the mystical topics behind each one. Occultism takes inspiration from a lot of religions so the mixture implies something in that direction. Hugh modeled his house after this labyrinth style temple used during the Eleusinian Mysteries. The girls likely drank a tea or drink which was filled with the psychoactive substance (look at the table at 0:32) and he's about to send them on a journey that will change their lives. "It will make your hearts beat faster. It may even make you want to die." He's describing the effect of the drink he gave them. The labyrinth he sends them into simply amplifies the fear and hallucinations which drives them further towards the end goal. That goal? "Do not be afraid. You will witness a miracle." He is sending them into this maze to reenact an ancient ritual which forces a person to overcome their fears and gives them a genuine religious experience. He purposely nudges them through the door which leads into the maze by challenging their faith. As religious people, they'll accept the challenge (which is what Hugh wants) while the door which said "disbelief" likely led them outside. He isn't torturing them for being religious. He knows that the only people who can be granted the right to experience the miracle are those who genuinely do believe. It's all part of the ritual.
What they experienced in the labyrinth was the Organic Light (in Greece, not in the film) or the naked body of the wisdom Goddess Sophia. In the case of the Eleusinian mysteries, She is represented by Demeter, ironically it is the ergot on the wheat that infused the Kykeon.
The pie candle was right in front of them the entire time. You can see it lit on the table and facing them when he's still in the room. He never hid it from them, he allowed them to be victims of their own willing belief in what they were told when the truth was in front of them. This was his first test, more than just a trap. I think at every step he will push them to abandon the given information that they want to believe and instead use their minds and senses in the present moment in order to survive, to overcome comforting misinformation and see if they can pursue their best interests in extremity.
@@midsommaria yeah. check the book of ezekiel in the bible, they sound way scarier. The idea also is that they are not supposed to like of this Earth and that they "strike fear" in mortal's hearts. Conversely demons are said to look beautiful so it's easier to tempt and sway people.
The main thing i learned street contacting and knocking doors in Arizona from April 2011 to April 2013 was to always act happy and even excited to see strangers, use your eyes and body language in the most personable way possible and many people will be willing to talk to you, even if for only a minute. And get people to talk about their own relationship with Christ and try to relate. Its important to be as sincere and relatable as possible as an LDS missionary, and take no for an answer and feel the vibes people give you. I did a ton of service on my mission too, like picking weeds especially, and many people ended up appreciating us instead of avoiding us.
@@3charii i havent seen it yet so i'm not sure, i read its not anti lds though. But its definitely not going to be a spiritually enlightening film by any means, lol. Curiosity may get the best of me and i might see it
going on a mission is such a rich, yet crazy experience. Most people will never know what its like to go into hundreds, if not thousands of random peoples homes, hear their story and see how they live.
Only 32? I remember Four Weddings and a Funeral as a 16 year old in 1994, when he was only about 29, so imagine how I feel lol. You're not old enough to remember him when Bridget Jones came out, and you know what I said when I saw him in that as a 23 year old in 2001? 'Man, Hugh Grant has aged!' Its all relative.
@ yeah that’s a good point, it might have turned some people off it. I don’t watch trailers before I see movies personally, I like not knowing what to expect. Came here to see how much would have been given away if I’d seen this before the movie
@@AshleyRich-p7mfuck yes. Me and my girl have been discussing it ever since we left the movies saw it last night. Its thought provoking. And keeps you on the edge.
AHHHHHHH I’ve gotta see it again. But also because I was totally knocked off balance because the opening shot is literally the view I had from basically my backyard for 2 years. Literally the exact same angle. A weird moment for someone with PTSD who has flashbacks without literal flashbacks being forced on them. Took me a long time to get back into the movie afterwards. So it’ll be a win/win to see it again.
In all fairness, he had it facing away from them. She turns it around once she starts to suspect. Adding to the illusion, there actually _is_ a blueberry pie.
Fabulous movie. They sustained the creep factor throughout as the film carried out the character's message to a tee. It had several codas inside the one plot to reignite our interest, with a few well-placed ideas inserted within. But on that note, the audience will recognize another movie having that same setup. I won't give away which one. Very nicely done.
The differing reactions of the two girls to the candle could highlight their personalities and how they respond to danger, possibly setting up a dynamic where one is more skeptical and the other more trusting.
One sister is killed the other lives. The sister that dies kills Hugh with a floor board with nails in it. Hugh has an old lady in the basement and forces her to eat a deadly blueberry pie and replaces her with another old lady to trick the sisters in to believing that she was brought back to life. Stupid movie with a bunch of anti Mormon tropes that are completely a joke.
@@VieraXXII SPOILER . . . . . . . I think whether she witnessed a miracle in the end is debatable. It sure seems that *she* believes she may have witnessed one. And if there was any doubt about that bit, something happens afterward that at least validates that Heaven/God/the other side/etc. is real.
@@VieraXXIIAlso, if you have not seen the movie, I highly recommend it. I liked it a LOT. And I’m not in any way religious or a believer or anything, in case that matters.
@@FreshSpecimensI don’t think it validates it, it more leaves it up for interpretation. That’s the thing about faith; it’s not something you can disprove or prove. Was the end a miracle or just a mere coincidence? We’ll never know. Both Hugh and Chloe’s characters are the extremes of their beliefs. What I did get from the movie, as creepy as the method was, that the middle ground is that we should always question what we’re told is “real” or “true” because things aren’t always as they seem. If you believe, fine, but keep digging. If you don’t believe, cool, but it’s also okay that others believe. And finally, women in religion are extremely easy prey for sick men. They ignored almost every sign of potential danger, yet still continued just to “win a soul.”
I will say this. Having done studies on LDS media depictions, i think this is the first time I’ve seen sister missionaries shown in a movie or show not created by church owned or adjacent media. So that’s a first! Curious to see the film too
@@JustinZarianthese other sarcastic comments replying to you are just strange. I totally agree with you. Took me by total surprise. Best 2 years was great. Errand of angels was decent. As long as the movie doesn’t take shots at the churches expense I’m all for this! Hugh grant is great for this role and I doubt he’d take a role I’ll natured especially with 2 sister missionaries.
@@kellyjohnson4578 I take it in stride. Thank you for your comment And yes, I consider The Best Two Years the best LDS made film for showing at least a more grounded depiction of LDS characters that challenges the characters but doesn’t need to degrade them. You can have stories of LDS losing their faith, but you can also have stories where people struggle but keep to their principles. I appreciate seeing that with characters of other faiths too, since it speaks to personal characteristics just as much as spiritual. And it’s the least goofy LDS movie aside from Richard Dutcher’s movies, which is saying a lot with how many LDS films are cornier than Iowa!
As a former Mormon who served a mission, it's interesting to see realistic portrayals of Mormon missionaries being used as more than the butt of a joke. I can see how the strict set of morals and being homesick could add a lot to the plot of a thriller.
Exmo rm here as well, and I totally agree! Add the isolation from living in a new place (oftentimes speaking a new language) with a companion who is a perfect stranger to you, and you’ve got a lot to add to the atmosphere of a thriller. Not to mention the ideas of faith and belief that if handled well, could make for some fun story elements. I’m really looking forward to this one.
We don't know for sure that their faith is Mormonism. This could be one of many religions. I like that🙂 Jehovah's Witnesses do door to door missions as well, along with many other protestant branches.
@@zarrahprodan They literally mention The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and are wearing Mormon missionary badges, so yeah, we do know that in this case.
I can't believe we are back in the era of good trailers that are actually gripping and don't tell already the whole movie. Well done, A24! 👍🏻 Nosferatu has an equally good trailer and I am here for it.
Nosferatu looks 100x better than this, this is cool and all but Nosfertu is a cinematic masterpiece,this looks like an average run of mill decent horror movie.
@@Squadron_Bodron what are you smoking... Simply because the plot involves a couple of Mormons and the storyline is clearly based off of the name of the movie you wanna cry about it. Grow a pair
The last 5-10 years of Hugh Grants career have been arguably his best. The money surely isn't the same as it was for him back when, but the performances he's been turning in lately have all been amongst his best career work
The man paid his dues, made his fortune, now he can experiment a bit more with his acting roles. Good on him. I am starting to appreciate him more and more in recent years.
This movie was amazing. So many turns it kept me guessing. All the actors did a great job. I wouldn't be surprised if we see Hugh Grant getting some nominations this year.
Sophie Thatcher was the main reason I stayed with Yellowjackets, Hugh Grant in a horror film is the main reason I'd watch this. Looking devilishly grandeur.
@@swankhood I think you’re misinformed here. As members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, we’re constantly told to study things out for ourselves, ask questions, study the scriptures for the answers, build your own testimony of Jesus Christ. What part of that sounds like mind control?
1:30 that "everything" delivery paired with a very eerie, sinister and psycho smile. Gosh, I love Hugh Grant. Such a terrific actor. I bet this will become one of my future classic faves.
Bet again.. Jokes aside, time will tell (this will either be a 5/10 or a 7.3/10) I'm leaning more on the 5.6 side, this trailer has got that classic great trailer but underwhelming result vibe, only time will tell.
I used to be a sister missionary. My first thought was-they need to make sure another woman is present (not just trust his word), they probably have a trackable phone, and their district leader would’ve called that night and known something was wrong if they didn’t answer. But I’m still intrigued! Hoping they are nice to the church in general
I thought that too, about the woman present. My first thought was that the girl in the black shirt would be dress coded, and that ain't no sister missionary got time for that level of makeup 😂 Doubt they'll be nice to the church, but I'm really interested in the way it looks like it'll bring up personal conviction vs superficial beliefs
Well, I think this movie won’t be nice to the church. I mean, they are calling the movie heretic. Some of It will probably have some anti material mixed into it.
I guess Blumhouse is a little more commercial than A24, Neon, IFC Midnight, and Fox Searchlight, but I find their films usually have interesting premises. Hey, that's just my opinion though.
Who remembers Hugh Grant in the film 'Cloud Atlas' where he played the part of a terribly cruel man? He said later that he'd really enjoyed being a 'baddie' for once. He was good...very good. 🤩
The lad built himself quite the elaborate house just hoping two girls from the local church would show up on his doorstep and fall for his blueberry candle trick. I imagine he's relieved all those years of laborious construction and patience paid off.
many young people do missionary work going door to door, and often travel to far areas to do so. its pretty believable to me that he'd get a chance to try this more than once
I like the fact Huge is using The British ACCENT instead of putting on an American accent for commercial purposes, The English accent is Internationally Respected
@dietzanator I can't recall a time, if he ever did. But it was interesting when the show House came out in the US, lots of people didn't realize Hugh Laurie was British. There's lots of British people who act in American films and use American accents. In the 90s movie Hackers, Jonny Lee Miller puts on an American accent, but when he yells, his Scottish accent comes through.
I love it when older actors who were famous when they were young reinvent themselves and become cool again for everyone to enjoy. Hugh Grant in this film is unexpected and fresh.💗
I LOVE how he says “Do not be afraid,” in this context. If you think about it a bit, it might be read as him mimicking (or possibly BEING) God, (Be not afraid) and literally testing them, like he does all the time in the bible. This looks freaking cool!
I never understood mission trips. If there is so much “evidence” for god, you wouldnt need them. All religions dont hold up under even the most basic teensy tiny shred of scrutiny, but the unfortunate fact is, they are based on fear. The fear of what happens if you allow yourself to question it. The fear of death. The fear of losing loved ones. The fear of the unknown. Etc. And instead of learning how to truly cope with those fears and find peace through love and enlightenment, they indoctrinate children who dont know any better, and use fear tactics and cult social environments to create a feeling of belonging to keep their agenda going. The people at the top in religion are greedy and motivated by money, status, and power. And the rest are motivated by fear.
I’m curious but I’d be surprised if there’s anything interesting. These movies typically portray the religious in two ways and neither are good. Ironically it’s a familiar theme to the faithful and a pacifier to the non-believers. Nothing new or interesting about it. But maybe I’ll be proven wrong this time.
@@knockedoutloaded279 It tips them off that he was probably lying about everything he said at the door. If they were smelling the candle the entire time, that means there's no pie in the oven. If there's no pie in the oven, he might have also been lying about being married and having a wife in the house.
so many amazing clues/details in the first part of the trailer - him with the watering can despite it raining, obviously the candle, I suspect the framing of the girls in each shot foreshadows their fates … love it
I served a mission for the church back in 2015 and I must say I always felt protected and if I did run into crazy people… I felt the spirit warn my not to even go into Their house
Very glad Hugh Grant is getting something like this after a lot of campy villian roles (this years Unfrosted being a particular low point) He’s terrific in stuff like that but it’l be cool to see him flex his drama muscles as a real threat
When I once did pizza delivery, I was always told to never enter anyone's home even if they gave you permission to do so (for security reasons). I was going to say, entering the house only if a woman is inside is a pretty stupid reason to feel safe. But if they had declined, the credits would roll too quickly.
Wow Hugh has outdone himself in range&variety, acting wise. Looking forward to joining Hugh in a moment in time descending into madness, for entertainment purposes. Looks like a great film.
I think they deliberately chose the same song that was used for the Saw X trailer (The air that I breathe by The Hollies), given that this film also features someone using traps/escape rooms. Can't wait for the film, A24 almost always delivers
I like how they accurately depicted the mission rule that a person of the same gender must be present in the home. I hope they are just as accurate with the rest of their depictions of missionaries.
@@gm6856 ooh! I wonder if the movie will depict baseball baptisms! Now THERE'S an efficient tactic at raising those stats! Though I don't know if I've ever heard of sisters doing that so probably won't be in the film.
@@imustremaincivil2932 I suppose you prefer missionaries being depicted as the butt of a joke instead of the earnest and honest endeavor most of us in the Church actually see it as.
@@drakemiller2267 my issues are more with the institutional leadership than the individual membership or the missionaries on the ground. They are operating on what their leaders have told them. I do not want missionaries treated as jokes. I think they're being exploited.
@@imustremaincivil2932 well it’s okay to feel that way but for me I had a wonderful experience of my own volition and I’m grateful for the beliefs that I hold that have brought me peace and purpose even if our leaders aren’t perfect past or present.
@@Picnicl I know it’s not shown in the trailer but the label was facing away from them the whole time. Hugh’s character had just blown out the candle, causing the pie scent to fade, which is what prompted her to turn it around like that and make that realisation. I personally found that scene in the film to be really well done as that’s somewhat when it transitioned from a tense and uncomfortable scene, to the beginning of the horror.
I want to kiss whoever thought 'we should start using Hugh Grant in more edgy roles'. He's a joy to watch outside of romantic comedies.
He was always a really good dramatic. Watch Maurice (1987).
I totally disliked him in romantic comedies. This, I love.
Weirdly enough, I think the movie most responsible for this career shift was Paddington 2.
I’ve only seen him in Dungeons and Dragons and About A Boy, I hear he’s hard to work with tho and I hope he wasn’t for this film.
You can thank Hugh Grant for getting old and unattractive.
The cut to a blueberry pie candle and the realization that there is actually no pie. Love it.
The cake is a lie.
I did not get this. Why did she know there is no pie just because there is a Candle with a Pie name on it?
@@leifhesse They most likely believed him at first because it smells like a pie is cooking. But there isn't a pie, its a pie scented candle.
@@leifhesse The implication is that they believed him about the pie because they could smell it, but then they realized the scent was artificial. That one lie then calls everything else into question as well. Also possible she got weird vibes, or there were other tells, but we haven't seen the whole movie yet homie.
@@leifhesse Because he claims that his wife is home and that there's a blueberry pie in the oven, which they can smell, so they believe him. She realises the candle is the real source of the smell of blueberry pie: therefore, no real pie smell = no pie = quite possibly no wife. It proves he's tricked them. He's lied to get them inside his home and that means they are no longer safe. Absolutely chilling.
finally, a film that captures the unspeakable horror of a scented candle.

All pie is good pie.
My far-fetched theory: it’s a storyline similar to the Greek mythology about the Minotaur that resides in the middle of the labyrinth. Each year they would send in youths and maidens into the labyrinth as a sacrificial offering to the Minotaur (he eats them).
This old guy seems like a mad scientist/inventor and maybe he somehow was able to reanimate his dead wife and she’s now like some zombie lady who needs to be trapped inside the maze he created. Her “resurrection from the dead” is why he said they’d witness a miracle. He sends in people into the maze to feed her.
Hey man, like I said, far-fetched theory.
You can almost see the corpse standing behind her
Dude that's so cool!
love this theory! any maze immediately makes me think of daedalus but this is so interesting!

The most they do is finance one or another film, because they are mostly a distributor; they do not participate in the artistic creation of any work.
HG's character answers the door, holding a watering can on a rainy day. He says his wife is " home." He lights the blueberry pie candle right in front of them. If this character wanted to do something discreetly, it seems like he would. It's like he's testing how far he can go on the strength of the ladies' subconscious acceptance of what he says versus what their environment demonstrates.
I'm looking forward to seeing this!
You're not wrong, but I don't think watering indoor plants when it's raining is a red flag? :P
I'm not hating, though, you make good points about the other stuff.
@lolomcspanky I agree. I can't firmly decide if it was significant or not. But, it stood out to me every time I've watched the trailer. Of course, he could be just watering indoor plants. The watering can there in his hand though just keeps being like a loose thread I want to pull on...❤️✨️

I just got back from seeing this film and all I can say is I am literally blown away. The acting (especially HUGH GRANT AND SOPHIE THATCHER!!!), the writing and everything about this film was so methodical and deep that it constantly hits you with plot twist after plot twister. To call this a horror movie is an understatement. This whole film is ART.
How are you going to leave out Chloe East’s acting ? She was phenomenal
All of those years that he was type casted in Romcoms may have paid the bills but this is the type of role that Hugh should be in! Can't wait to see this!
I feel like he is having so much fun with these kinds of roles he's been doing recently! Good for him!
He was Daniel cleaver in Bridget jones
Yeah, it suits him because he actually is a villain in real life. Ask Rebecca Ferguson.
But, Hugh is the King of Romcoms.

wtf High grant, really, it Hugh grant tf
The movie is called Heretic and ties into the history of the word as it has been associated with the history of the Christian religion as the word is based on the Ancient Greek word: Haeretikos, which means, "I choose".
Brilliant title and movie theming.
And Hexen?
Wow! Hércules 😂
I wouldn’t really consider the LDS church Christian’s. They don’t uphold the doctrine of the Trinity which is an absolutely necessary core belief for any true Christian denomination. Not trying to diss on the LDS church but their beliefs simply do not align with Protestants, Catholics, or Orthodox which are the three main Christian denominations.
And how is this significant?
@justingary5322 Disproving evolution theory does not *prove the existence of a highly defined human-like God*
It suggests- not proves- that the world was, at some point, created.
But it's one megalithic assumption to decide, on spec, that the creator of all existence is a human-like man with identical emotions and identical ideology on the role of duty, hierachy, fealty, sacrifice, shame, and punishment.
That is one massive leap indeed.
I watched this trailer a few times now and I feel like I might know what the story is about. I'm just blind guessing but I feel like there are solid hints.
Hugh Grant is the follower of an esoteric and ancient religious practice. Likely, they'll mix it in with general occultism.
In ancient Greece, there was something called the Eleusinian Mysteries. While there's a lot behind them, the short and general of it is they were rituals where a person ingested a psychedelic substance called Kykeon. This is done before the person was then sent into a temple which was a kind of religious maze or labyrinth. It was set up in such a way that the themes and experiences inside the temple reflected the message of the ritual as a whole. You basically would go in, lose your mind on this psychedelic while traversing the ritual themed maze, then emerge as a completely reborn person.
Some described this ritual as being so powerful and so profound that initiates would lose their fear of death entirely because they genuinely believed they experienced God or the afterlife or something extremely divine in nature.
The Greek style statue that gets revealed when Hugh flips the switch at 1:18 makes me think they're leaning in that direction. The fact the room he's standing in is filled with religious symbols from different faiths (There's a menorah and a Shiva statue on the bookshelves to his right and left at 1:23) - The implication being he studies religion and probably dives into the mystical topics behind each one. Occultism takes inspiration from a lot of religions so the mixture implies something in that direction.
Hugh modeled his house after this labyrinth style temple used during the Eleusinian Mysteries. The girls likely drank a tea or drink which was filled with the psychoactive substance (look at the table at 0:32) and he's about to send them on a journey that will change their lives.
"It will make your hearts beat faster. It may even make you want to die."
He's describing the effect of the drink he gave them. The labyrinth he sends them into simply amplifies the fear and hallucinations which drives them further towards the end goal. That goal?
"Do not be afraid. You will witness a miracle."
He is sending them into this maze to reenact an ancient ritual which forces a person to overcome their fears and gives them a genuine religious experience. He purposely nudges them through the door which leads into the maze by challenging their faith. As religious people, they'll accept the challenge (which is what Hugh wants) while the door which said "disbelief" likely led them outside.
He isn't torturing them for being religious. He knows that the only people who can be granted the right to experience the miracle are those who genuinely do believe. It's all part of the ritual.
Wow my guy discovered the whole plot already
This could be pretty cool if true.
What they experienced in the labyrinth was the Organic Light (in Greece, not in the film) or the naked body of the wisdom Goddess Sophia. In the case of the Eleusinian mysteries, She is represented by Demeter, ironically it is the ergot on the wheat that infused the Kykeon.
Probably wasn’t tea…
That would be so dope if true, specially that you figured it out
The pie candle was right in front of them the entire time. You can see it lit on the table and facing them when he's still in the room. He never hid it from them, he allowed them to be victims of their own willing belief in what they were told when the truth was in front of them. This was his first test, more than just a trap.
I think at every step he will push them to abandon the given information that they want to believe and instead use their minds and senses in the present moment in order to survive, to overcome comforting misinformation and see if they can pursue their best interests in extremity.

The main thing i learned street contacting and knocking doors in Arizona from April 2011 to April 2013 was to always act happy and even excited to see strangers, use your eyes and body language in the most personable way possible and many people will be willing to talk to you, even if for only a minute. And get people to talk about their own relationship with Christ and try to relate. Its important to be as sincere and relatable as possible as an LDS missionary, and take no for an answer and feel the vibes people give you. I did a ton of service on my mission too, like picking weeds especially, and many people ended up appreciating us instead of avoiding us.

In all fairness, he had it facing away from them. She turns it around once she starts to suspect.
Adding to the illusion, there actually _is_ a blueberry pie.
Fabulous movie. They sustained the creep factor throughout as the film carried out the character's message to a tee. It had several codas inside the one plot to reignite our interest, with a few well-placed ideas inserted within. But on that note, the audience will recognize another movie having that same setup. I won't give away which one. Very nicely done.
Hugh Grant: "do not be afraid."

@@nurlindafsihotang49 It's from John 14:25-27, I think.

The differing reactions of the two girls to the candle could highlight their personalities and how they respond to danger, possibly setting up a dynamic where one is more skeptical and the other more trusting.
so true
One sister is killed the other lives. The sister that dies kills Hugh with a floor board with nails in it.
Hugh has an old lady in the basement and forces her to eat a deadly blueberry pie and replaces her with another old lady to trick the sisters in to believing that she was brought back to life.

I think whether she witnessed a miracle in the end is debatable. It sure seems that *she* believes she may have witnessed one. And if there was any doubt about that bit, something happens afterward that at least validates that Heaven/God/the other side/etc. is real.
@@VieraXXIIAlso, if you have not seen the movie, I highly recommend it. I liked it a LOT. And I’m not in any way religious or a believer or anything, in case that matters.
@@FreshSpecimensI don’t think it validates it, it more leaves it up for interpretation. That’s the thing about faith; it’s not something you can disprove or prove. Was the end a miracle or just a mere coincidence? We’ll never know. Both Hugh and Chloe’s characters are the extremes of their beliefs. What I did get from the movie, as creepy as the method was, that the middle ground is that we should always question what we’re told is “real” or “true” because things aren’t always as they seem. If you believe, fine, but keep digging. If you don’t believe, cool, but it’s also okay that others believe. And finally, women in religion are extremely easy prey for sick men. They ignored almost every sign of potential danger, yet still continued just to “win a soul.”

@@kellyjohnson4578 I take it in stride. Thank you for your comment
And yes, I consider The Best Two Years the best LDS made film for showing at least a more grounded depiction of LDS characters that challenges the characters but doesn’t need to degrade them. You can have stories of LDS losing their faith, but you can also have stories where people struggle but keep to their principles. I appreciate seeing that with characters of other faiths too, since it speaks to personal characteristics just as much as spiritual. And it’s the least goofy LDS movie aside from Richard Dutcher’s movies, which is saying a lot with how many LDS films are cornier than Iowa!
As a former Mormon who served a mission, it's interesting to see realistic portrayals of Mormon missionaries being used as more than the butt of a joke. I can see how the strict set of morals and being homesick could add a lot to the plot of a thriller.
Exmo rm here as well, and I totally agree! Add the isolation from living in a new place (oftentimes speaking a new language) with a companion who is a perfect stranger to you, and you’ve got a lot to add to the atmosphere of a thriller. Not to mention the ideas of faith and belief that if handled well, could make for some fun story elements. I’m really looking forward to this one.

Does anyone else think that Hugh Grant is in the kick-ass best patch period of his movie career? This looks fantastic.
I used to be a sister missionary. My first thought was-they need to make sure another woman is present (not just trust his word), they probably have a trackable phone, and their district leader would’ve called that night and known something was wrong if they didn’t answer. But I’m still intrigued! Hoping they are nice to the church in general
😈 doubtful.
Yes I’m sure they will be very nice to the church and donate 10% to the big guy.
Jeff Epstein had his sidekick woman ever present too, but she enabled him as he sexually had his way with young girls.
I thought that too, about the woman present. My first thought was that the girl in the black shirt would be dress coded, and that ain't no sister missionary got time for that level of makeup 😂 Doubt they'll be nice to the church, but I'm really interested in the way it looks like it'll bring up personal conviction vs superficial beliefs
Well, I think this movie won’t be nice to the church. I mean, they are calling the movie heretic. Some of It will probably have some anti material mixed into it.
Thank you A24 and Neon for filling the horror sized hole in my heart like Blumhouse never could.

The lad built himself quite the elaborate house just hoping two girls from the local church would show up on his doorstep and fall for his blueberry candle trick. I imagine he's relieved all those years of laborious construction and patience paid off.
many young people do missionary work going door to door, and often travel to far areas to do so. its pretty believable to me that he'd get a chance to try this more than once
Constantly mormons or jehovah witnesses come door to door around scotland so very believable
He had faith he'd get his chance.

I like the fact Huge is using The British ACCENT instead of putting on an American accent for commercial purposes, The English accent is Internationally Respected
Has he ever played a role with an American accent? It would be weird if he did.
@dietzanator I can't recall a time, if he ever did. But it was interesting when the show House came out in the US, lots of people didn't realize Hugh Laurie was British.

lol I went to the comments just to see if someone said this
Oompa loompa, dupadadee, Hugh Grant's starring in a horror movie! Oompa Loompa, dupadout hope these girls will get the hell out!
@@ihartmovies3936 Yippee!
This also makes it more funny, since the same music you hear in this trailer is also in the trailer for Saw X.
Oompa loompa doompa-dee dorture...
I just finished the movie, and holy cr**! Hugh Grant was an absolute shocker! 🖤🖤🖤
Hugh Grant just must be loving these new, darker roles. He is so self deprecating, I hope he knows how much pleasure he brings with his work
Having served a mission, I'm looking forward to this immensely.
I never understood mission trips. If there is so much “evidence” for god, you wouldnt need them. All religions dont hold up under even the most basic teensy tiny shred of scrutiny, but the unfortunate fact is, they are based on fear. The fear of what happens if you allow yourself to question it. The fear of death. The fear of losing loved ones. The fear of the unknown. Etc. And instead of learning how to truly cope with those fears and find peace through love and enlightenment, they indoctrinate children who dont know any better, and use fear tactics and cult social environments to create a feeling of belonging to keep their agenda going. The people at the top in religion are greedy and motivated by money, status, and power. And the rest are motivated by fear.
I’ve gotten worse referrals from the sisters.
I’m curious but I’d be surprised if there’s anything interesting. These movies typically portray the religious in two ways and neither are good. Ironically it’s a familiar theme to the faithful and a pacifier to the non-believers. Nothing new or interesting about it. But maybe I’ll be proven wrong this time.
I’m assuming this is rated R so aren’t you not allowed to watch it?
Finally, a movie that accurately depicts the horrors of serving a mission.
My stomach dropped when she clocked the blueberry pie candle. It's very reminiscent of the drink ordering scene in Inglorious Bastards.
I don't und blueberry pie candle. ?
@@knockedoutloaded279dumbass.
@@knockedoutloaded279 It tips them off that he was probably lying about everything he said at the door. If they were smelling the candle the entire time, that means there's no pie in the oven. If there's no pie in the oven, he might have also been lying about being married and having a wife in the house.
@ronburgundy244 cool ...looks good..
Can you explain the drink scene please?
Movie was FIRE I would watch it again in theater
hugh grant looks like hes actually having fun making films again,
I hear it’s cuz he has a reputation of being hard to work with, which has me hoping he was easier to work with in this movie
@ytuser_3122 Thats usually code for "not okay with creepy directors"
In less than 10 years he went from forever bachelor to married with 5 children. He might need some distraction 😂
where do you come up with this brain rot of a comment
@ go eat more fucking crayons
so many amazing clues/details in the first part of the trailer - him with the watering can despite it raining, obviously the candle, I suspect the framing of the girls in each shot foreshadows their fates … love it
nice catch with the watering can in rain
I served a mission for the church back in 2015 and I must say I always felt protected and if I did run into crazy people… I felt the spirit warn my not to even go into
Their house
“spirit”
Me too.
Countless missionaries have told me the same. Thank you for sharing your testimony.
It's called intuition and survival instinct. Everyone has it. Thanks, nature!
Me, too. The Holy Ghost is real. He has saved me from harm. I will leave it at that. ❤
Mario 64: The cake is a lie
A24: The pie is a lie
also don't forget Portal the computer game 2007, the cake was a lie, too!
Very glad Hugh Grant is getting something like this after a lot of campy villian roles (this years Unfrosted being a particular low point) He’s terrific in stuff like that but it’l be cool to see him flex his drama muscles as a real threat
the campy villain in the dungeons and dragons movie was great tho, a real highlight for me
That house goes in the tracting log as Do not Contact
Red dot in the area book🔴
🤣
When I once did pizza delivery, I was always told to never enter anyone's home even if they gave you permission to do so (for security reasons). I was going to say, entering the house only if a woman is inside is a pretty stupid reason to feel safe. But if they had declined, the credits would roll too quickly.
Wow Hugh has outdone himself in range&variety, acting wise. Looking forward to joining Hugh in a moment in time descending into madness, for entertainment purposes. Looks like a great film.
I think they deliberately chose the same song that was used for the Saw X trailer (The air that I breathe by The Hollies), given that this film also features someone using traps/escape rooms. Can't wait for the film, A24 almost always delivers
Love the juxtaposition between the warm and cozy color grading in some scenes versus the impending doom. My favorite.
whenever i see somewhere A24, i say "man i respect you so much, i will see you on the biggest screen, 4k possible"
For me it's either 1)OMFG I CANT WAIT
Or
2)OMFG THIS IS NOT FOR ME
I've never seen a 9/10 A24 movie in my life.
Typically worse than a Transformers movie.
@RED-WEAPON definitely not about them...just a my preference (not big into horror)
They always turn out out good shit
Nah. I'll wait until it streams on my big screen.
@DonoVideoProductions the last movie I saw in theaters was were the Millers
I saw this today and it was AWESOME!!! One of the best movies I’ve seen in a while! Great storyline and pacing. Perfect casting. Just perfect!
"I am also just a psychopath, standing in front of two girls asking them to pick their door"
You win!
Nod to Notting Hill. Well done!
From the time I saw him and I just felt dread lol 😂 like this is gonna be a disaster somebody is gonna die
I served a mission and a few of us told a fake story about getting trapped in a killer's house. This definitely reminds me of that 😅
There is that movie based on a true story. Where the two elders get kidnapped and ransomed in Russia.
@@stockpilethomas7900 Being a Member myself, we all know how that one ended up....whats the agenda behind this one tho?
@tenorsoul87 Maybe one of the characters loses faith in the end but survives and leaves the church and then becomes like the Hugh Grunt character.
There's some truth to those stories. Look up Robert Elmer Kleason.
I like how they accurately depicted the mission rule that a person of the same gender must be present in the home. I hope they are just as accurate with the rest of their depictions of missionaries.
Me too. Stuff like heavy top down pushing for lessons taught, church attendance, baptisms, etc.
@@gm6856 ooh! I wonder if the movie will depict baseball baptisms! Now THERE'S an efficient tactic at raising those stats! Though I don't know if I've ever heard of sisters doing that so probably won't be in the film.
@@imustremaincivil2932 I suppose you prefer missionaries being depicted as the butt of a joke instead of the earnest and honest endeavor most of us in the Church actually see it as.
@@drakemiller2267 my issues are more with the institutional leadership than the individual membership or the missionaries on the ground. They are operating on what their leaders have told them. I do not want missionaries treated as jokes. I think they're being exploited.
@@imustremaincivil2932 well it’s okay to feel that way but for me I had a wonderful experience of my own volition and I’m grateful for the beliefs that I hold that have brought me peace and purpose even if our leaders aren’t perfect past or present.
The moment she realized there was no damn pie! She knew they were in trouble. Can’t wait to see it !
The candle was literally right next to her the whole time. She's annoying in the movie with her constant look at me micro expressions.
@@Picnicl I know it’s not shown in the trailer but the label was facing away from them the whole time. Hugh’s character had just blown out the candle, causing the pie scent to fade, which is what prompted her to turn it around like that and make that realisation. I personally found that scene in the film to be really well done as that’s somewhat when it transitioned from a tense and uncomfortable scene, to the beginning of the horror.
A24, horror, and miniature houses. Name a more iconic trio!
👏👏❤👏👏
the 3 wisemen, the 3 musketeers, the alkaline trio, etc
Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach
Old school trailer. Give me intrigue without giving everything away. A fine art.
