Bob Dylan classic ‘Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door’ for the Hugh Grant horror film Heretic.The choose-your-own-adventure film, which is out in theatres everywhere tomorrow (November 8), stars Grant as Mr.

Reed, a mysterious and untrustworthy man who answers the door to two young female Mormon missionaries who want to convert him to the church.The film features Grant singing 90s classic, Radiohead’s ‘Creep’, and now it has been revealed that Thatcher also casts her own take on a seminal Bob Dylan song.

Appearing on the Heretic soundtrack, Thatcher’s gauzy cover of ‘Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door’ appears to interpolate another 90s classic: Mazzy Star‘s ‘Fade Into You’.Speaking to Rolling Stone, Thatcher said of her cover: “It works with the movie because Hugh Grant goes on a spiel about religion and Christianity, [and how] they’re all iterations of each other.
