For one night only, you'll be able to smell the Hugh Grant movie 'Heretic'
If you've ever wanted to smell a movie, you're in luck. A24 will be hosting multi-sensory experience screenings of the upcoming horror film Heretic, complete with the smell of blueberry pie.
Why blueberry pie, you may ask? The answer lies in Heretic's first spooky trailer. The film, directed by A Quiet Place writers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, sees Mormon missionaries Sister Barnes (Yellowjackets' Sophie Thatcher) and Sister Paxton (The Fabelmans' Chloe East) visit the home of the kindly seeming Mr. Reed (Hugh Grant). At first, the young women are hesitant to enter Reed's house, as they need a woman present. He assures them that his wife is just in the kitchen, baking some blueberry pie.
But when Barnes and Paxton discover that the delicious smell of blueberry pie is just the result of a scented candle, they'll realize that Mr. Reed is much more devious than he initially seemed — and he has a horrifying series of trials that will test their faith planned for them.
