HUGH GRANT: NEW FILM PERSONA AS CREEPY VILLAIN WINS NOMINATIONS, PRAISE

Awe for 'Stuttery Blinky'

He was also nominated for The Regime. Rotten Tomatoes' third best-reviewed horror of 2024, Heretic centres on two young Mormon missionaries who are forced to prove their faith when they knock on the wrong door and are greeted by the diabolical Mr Reed, becoming ensnared in his deadly game of cat-and-mouse.

Sporting his trademark awkwardness, self-deprecating humour and that "Oops, sorry-not-sorry" grin, Grant's Mr Reed promises blueberry pie and lively theological debate... before turning the actor's familiar charms against us, to spectacular effect.

The New York Times described the persona that made Grant a megastar as "a quintessentially British romantic hero of winning charm and diffidence". But, they say, "his recent run of strange and sometimes creepy characters plays so effectively against type that you begin to suspect you were mistaken about his type all along".
