Watch the first trailer for new horror HereticA24

A24 has unleashed the first trailer for Yellowjackets star Sophie Thatcher's mysterious new horror movie Heretic.

Written and directed by A Quiet Place and 65 duo Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, Heretic centres on two Mormon missionaries who attempt to convert a man, only for it to turn out far more dangerous than they could have anticipated.

The movie also stars The Fabelmans' Chloe East and Hugh Grant who, if the trailer is anything to go by, is going to be at his creepy best in Heretic.

We knew a trailer was coming today (June 25) after A24 released the first poster for the movie yesterday, featuring a lit blueberry pie-scented candle atop a wooden table in a darkened space.

Thatcher plays the teenage version of Natalie in hit survival thriller TV series Yellowjackets.

She has history in the horror genre, as she previously took the lead role of Sadie in the Stephen King adaptation The Boogeyman, which was co-written by Beck and Woods.

Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy around The Boogeyman's release, the actor recalled being drawn to the project thanks to its horrifying script.

"The script was devastating. Sadie is just a really complicated complex character. And she has such an incredible arc," she said. "As an actor, that is immediately what drew me in. I feel like it translated really well to screen, you could feel that in the script, you could feel the terror.

"It's rare that you feel that when reading a lot of scripts and a lot of genre stuff, but also just knowing that this is Stephen King, and there's that trust within that."

Heretic is released in US cinemas on November 15 and in UK cinemas on November 22.
