Goofs:
plot hole:
Mr. Reed would not have been able to get the prophet to swap the bodies without the girls noticing if the pastor from the church hadn’t have showed up at that exact time, which he had no way of knowing or controlling when it happened.
plot hole:
A woman who was starved and in a weakened state as the captive women were wouldn’t have had the strength to open the metal trap door, move the dead weight of a dead body and dump it down the shaft. Also the body was not near the base of the ladder so it would have had to have been dragged after being dropped. All that would have had to have been accomplished without making noise to alert the girls that it was happening.
plot hole:
Grants character listed the Egyptian god Horus as being a previous iteration of Jesus and mentioned 12 disciples and resurrection. However, there was never a clear number of defined followers for Horus. Also the death and resurrection story is more closely associated with Horus’s father Osiris.
Plots:
Two young religious women are drawn into a game of cat-and-mouse in the house of a strange man.
Two young missionaries are forced to prove their faith when they knock on the wrong door. Greeted by a diabolical Mr. Reed (Hugh Grant), the religious women are drawn into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse, pulled further inside the strange man’s house.
After fruitless efforts to rack up conversions for the Mormon Church, zealous missionaries Sister Barnes and Sister Paxton are about to call it a day. But a furious storm is fast approaching; the young evangelists must make a final stop at Mr Reed, the last person on their list, before finishing their daily rounds. However, as the reclusive host’s courteous facade lures the unsuspecting women into a blasphemous test of faith, the two preachers must first question everything they believe to make it out alive. After all, the bizarre hermit’s sweet, blueberry-scented lies can only lead to perdition. Because, above all else, Reed is a creep, a weirdo, and a heretic with a mind aflame with silent hate for God’s favourite creation. And the lost little lambs can’t do anything about it.
