Sept. 19 (UPI) -- A24 is giving a glimpse of the new film Heretic.

The studio shared a trailer for the movie Thursday featuring Hugh Grant, Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East.

Heretic is a psychological horror film written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, the co-writers of A Quiet Place.

The movie follows two young Mormon missionaries (Thatcher, East), who "are forced to prove their faith when they knock on the wrong door and are greeted by a diabolical Mr. Reed (Grant), becoming ensnared in his deadly game of cat-and-mouse," an official synopsis reads.

The trailer shows Grant's Mr. Reed set the scene -- lighting candles, setting out a Book of Mormon, and carving figures for an ominous dollhouse -- as Thatcher and East's characters are shown walking up to his house.

A24 previously released a trailer in June that shows Mr. Reed ask Thatcher and East's characters to choose a door to go through -- one marked "Belief" and the other "Disbelief."
