Let’s be real. The movie Heretic sucks. They should include some more characters like a progressive ward mission leader, a MAGA Trump loyal president, and a Salt Lake Tribune reporter who is basically like John Dehlin from the Mormon stories podcast. Then, maybe the movie would actually sell to the audience they think they’re selling to. The film producers would make a lot more money from a production like that.
Since the sister missionaries are hardly normal missionaries and they don’t do anything except walk straight toward a guy’s house, how am I supposed to believe that this movie will be interesting, Horrific, or a little too deep and personal, as a movie with some more unprepared sister missionaries should be?
Get the ward mission leader to prepare their bikes wrong and make them get a flat tire near the guy’s house and find out that their ward mission leader is having an emergency and no one else will listen to them because they are recovering from a breakup before their mission with a guy who is not a member of the church.
Then, there will actually be a reason to believe why the sister missionaries are unknowingly walking into a random guy’s house without his wife calling out or even coming to the front door.
Then, once the missionaries are inside the house, have the man lead them to his daughter’s bed that might need a priesthood blessing where he confronts them about not having priesthood power to heal them and telling them that if Emma Smith healed people, then they should too.
Then, surprise us as to what happened to the ward mission leader and MAGA mission president after Charlie Kirk gets shot and the John Dehlin-type reporter gets arrested for libel.
Fine, someone has to die and go to heaven. Let it be the daughter who dies with her faith still intact believing in Jesus Christ and Native American reparations and release.
And surprise me as to what happens when the next pair of missionaries who are Elders come to a KKK activist’s house in Oklahoma with a flat tire.
