Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Normally, I try to find something positive to say about a film. Plus, I like to give 'home-grown' (British) films a chance. They don't often have the budgets or stars that their Hollywood counterparts often do. But, if the quality of a film was based on its budget, then Michael Bay would have won every Oscar ever.Unfortunately, 'Heretic' is basically only slightly better than your average student film. It was made for a mere (in film terms) £30,000 and it shows.I watch a lot of horror films and I don't expect Oscar-worthy performances, but the acting here is terrible. No, it's worse than terrible. It really is some of the worst performances ever committed to film. It's like no one here is an actor and everyone is just a friend who offered to 'help out' by 'starring' in this low budget flick.Basically, if it was simply not scary that would be one thing. However, seeing as it's not scary AND pathetically acted then you really want to steer well clear of this abomination. There really isn't anything good to say about it. If you read any 'Five star' reviews then I'll put money on them being written by friends of the film-makers.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

I don't know why people have said in there reviews that "this is the directors first attempt" because when I'm watching the film I don't care about that. I care about the story and characters, and whether it is good or not. Sorry to say this film had a weak story that was long and painful at times. The film is about a priest locked in a house and his own head who kills everyone and blocks it out his head. He does all of this after a break down and terrible guilt. It's just not believable and it was boring. To get near the end of a film and it's all been in the persons head is always a let down. Lack luster to say the least. Save yourself the time and money. Don't watch this movie

Whining horror fans – woo woo! So its got less blood? So its a little slower? Who cares?! Cost me £3.50 and past two hours while I had beers so I'm not going to complain. I do agree with the bloke below about all the reviews though. It's a 30grand film and it didn't even go to the cinema and there's a lot of reviews on here for it. On a side note this whole ten lines of text for a review thing is stupid and does my nut in so i am hoping that breaks count because otherwise i am going to struggle...Turns out that breaks don't count so i am going to have to keep writing. i don't get it? shortly a short pithy review is better than rambling?

Okay, I never normally review stuff on here either but I thought someone had to stick up for this bloody (ha ha!) film! I am not cast or crew member but think some of the reviews on here are being a bit harsh. I agree that is it slow and that isn't your normal horror but I liked the fact it was a bit different and that they have tried to do something different with it although I am not sure it totally works. Also, it is much better than some of the Hollywood stuff I have seen lately (The Purge? Insidious 2? Anyone? Anyone?) and it was made for a lot less money. I don't agree with whoever said the akira kurosawa stuff below (definitely cast or crew or best friend!) but I did enjoy it so I am giving it a 7 because I thought they tried something different and the critics seem to like it so it can't be all that bad. Lots of reviews on here for such a small film though.
