I hated Heretic. Like it was well acted, but from what I read it was saying we should have sympathy for Trump voters. Nah they gonna get what they deserve, the rest of us are victims.

I saw Heretic a couple of days ago….I genuinely don’t understand how it was saying that at all???

I was confused about the message it was trying to give so I looked up what the director or writer intended. He said he was tired of people being painted as "good" or "bad" and that they're more complex and we all need to learn to get along again

Oh wow. Well he failed at that message lol

[anna_bea2]

as someone who watched it, I didn't get that vibe at all???

I looked up what the director / writer said bc I was confused on the messaging. Once I looked it up I was like how you gonna be claiming your movie is "both sides" when the atheist is a psycho who is obsessed with controlling women and the religious people are 2 pretty young girls who are victims. I mean isn't it usually the other way around too? The religious people are obsessed with controlling women's bodies. (see my comment above)

I just felt it was a lazy movie that had no opinion and yet another horror movie portraying violence against women.

And what it got to do with Trump?
It's a horror movie, but main villain is just psycho for whom his so called atheism is just a tool to control and torment women. He could've been religious and still a psycho who wants control.
And women in the story ended up being stronger and smarter than him.

This interview doesn't contradict anything i said, suggests that ending is open to the interpretation and still got nothing to do with Trump.
