Sister Barnes and Sister Paxton from Heretic
Published 9 months ago
Description
We’re entering the twisted trap of Heretic (2024), a psychological survival thriller that pits two Mormon missionaries against a villain who tests their belief in God and themselves. We dig into what makes Sister Barnes and Sister Paxton unlikely Final Girls: their young and indoctrinated moral rigidity and eventual transformation from passive believers into active resistors. Plus: we unpack the film’s commentary on obedience and the dangers of not asking questions.
Spoiler warning: We’re going full Book of Revelations on this one: expect plot details.
