The year will be coming to an end soon, but there are still some new horror films left to be released in theaters. One of the latest horror flicks to come out is Heretic, and we're hearing a lot of buzz around this movie. This film is now showing in theaters, so make sure to buy your ticket to see it if you haven't already!
However, we're aware that some people aren't necessarily moviegoers. They prefer to kick back at their homes and watch movies. While Heretic hasn't been given a digital or streaming release date, it will most likely be available to rent or buy digitally and to watch on a streaming platform at a later date. It just needs to wrap up its theatrical run first. Once that happens, it will likely be given a digital release first, followed by a streaming release. That's how A24 runs things, and Heretic is an A24 movie.
It usually takes about somewhere between 28 to 48 days after an A24 movie's theatrical release for it to be available on digital platforms. If Heretic follows this same pattern, this means we could possibly see the horror film on digital platforms sometime in December 2024. However, this is just a release date prediction. The movie could come to digital earlier or later than our prediction. We'll share the official digital release date once it is announced.
Now, when it comes to a streaming release, Heretic will most likely make its way to Max once it wraps up its theatrical run. The reason why the chosen streaming platform is Max is because of a current deal that A24 has with Warner Bros. Discovery, which is the owner of Max. We can only give a streaming release prediction at the moment.
If we're looking at A24 releases from this year, such as Love Lies Bleeding, Civil War and MaXXXine, these movies didn't hit Max until somewhere between 105 to 154 days after their theatrical releases. If we apply this to Heretic, this means we could see the movie on Max somewhere between February 2025 and April 2025. But again, this is just a release prediction. We'll get back to you with the official streaming release date once it is revealed.
Heretic is a horror thriller centering around two young missionaries who go from house to house trying to get people to join their religion. But they soon find themselves in a fight for survival after knocking on the door of a strange man who ends up trapping them in his house.
Yellowjackets star Sophie Thatcher takes on the role of Sister Barnes, one of the young missionaries, while Generation's Chloe East plays the other young missionary, Sister Paxton. Golden Globe Award winner Hugh Grant stars as the strange man, Mr. Reed.
A24 dropped three official trailers. You can check them out below!
