Matt Orozco Macabre Daily Oct 2, 2026
"The Heretiks" is a clever and carnage-filled twist on the witch film that meshes gateway horror with gruesomeness and rides high on some outstanding performances and practical effects. Go to Full Review Kat Hughes THN Sep 29, 2026
3/5
In The Heretiks witches continue to prove to be an elusive supernatural entity to commit well to film. Not a complete disaster, but also a bit of a drag, The Heretiks is potentially for the most diehard of films set on Halloween viewers. Go to Full Review Cassondra Feltus Black Girl Nerds Sep 27, 2026
4/5
The Heretiks is a lot of things: a home invasion horror, a character-driven coming-of-age tale, a high-stakes survival thriller. But above all else, it’s a moody Halloween film that entertains. Go to Full Review Bee Delores B-Sides & Badlands Sep 26, 2026
5/5
Where its obvious predecessors leave acts of nastiness mostly PG or just off-screen, The Heretiks relishes in the suffering for the audience’s astonishment. Go to Full Review Emily von Seele Daily Dead Sep 25, 2026
3/5
A good time that comes with a ton of gore, wicked practical effects, and a lot of heart. It’s the kind of movie you will be excited to dive into with a bowl of popcorn once the lights are out. Go to Full Review Simon Foster Screen-Space (Substack) Sep 25, 2026
4/5
Not afraid to go to horribly gruesome places ("Exterma!") and bring the kids along for the ride, THE HERETIKS is a cool, contemporary, Grimm girl-power fairytale. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
