    Ah Hugh Grant, the foppish English actor… the perfect romantic lead, vulnerable yet endearing, whether it be Bridget Jones Diary, Love Actually or Notting Hill to name but a few…. But here, we see a very different, dark side of Hugh. Two young female missionaries, door knocking to share the Word of God are forced to prove their faith when they knock on the wrong door and are greeted by a diabolical Mr. Reed, becoming ensnared in his deadly game of cat-and-mouse. A whole other side to Hugh which makes the film all the more chilling.
