Heretic -- a horror thriller starring Hugh Grant -- is new in theaters. Does the film have a post-credits scene that tells viewers anything more?

Written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, Heretic opens in theaters nationwide on Friday.

The logline for Heretic reads, "Two young missionaries 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."

Yellowjackets star Sophie Thatcher also stars a missionary, Sister Barnes, and Chloe East stars as Sister Paxton.

Heretic arrives in theaters backed by stellar reviews from Rotten Tomatoes critics, which have collectively given the A24 horror thriller a 94% "fresh" rating to date.

End credits scenes typically serve one of two purposes. Either the credits tease a sequel or tie up loose ends from a scene from earlier in the film.

In the case of Heretic, however, there is no end or post-credits scene. That doesn't mean, however, that nothing of significance happens when the credits begin to roll.

As such, filmmakers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods uses the end credits of Heretic to deliver a statement that simply says, "No generative AI was used in the making of this film."

The use of AI, of course, was a huge sticking point during the Screen Actors Guild and Writers Guild of America's strikes against the studios during the summer and fall of 2023.

In an interview about their statement about generative AI during Heretic's end credits, Woods told Variety that they wanted to make it completely clear to audiences about how the visual effects were achieved in their film -- even though the horror thriller is not an effects-heavy movie.

"We have no illusions that when people watch Heretic, they're going to go, 'Wait, did they use generative AI?'" Woods explained to Variety. "It doesn't feel like that at all, but it was important for us to put that out there because we think it's something people need to start talking about."

Woods also told Variety that generative AI is "not human and it's borderline theft on some level."

"I think this idea that an algorithm can just scrape all of human history and art off the internet, repackage it, regurgitate it, spit it out and somebody else can use that to create profit ... I don't know why that's legal," Woods told the trade publication.
