Wayne K @WayneKelso Jul 23 Apostle doesn’t do a lot to stand out from the already crowded folk horror field. It’s more of an amalgam of the tropes the genre has relied on over the year: Small, superstitious community, a fractured relationship with nature, mysterious beautiful woman, cold cinematography, brutal punishments, a leader with ulterior motives and so on. Dan Stephens properly throws himself into the physicality of the role and you feel his pain throughout. There’s a visceral kick to the violence and no attempt to hide the bloodshed and as a result you’re rooting for the communities downfall as it rots from the inside out. At 2 hours and 10 minutes it feels longer than it needs to be. Quinn’s villain speechifying could definitely do with some trimming for a start. But if you’re in the mood for something dark, moody and disturbing, you could do a lot worse than Apostle.

That was the one word in my head when I finished this movie theaters pure idiocy that the characters produce is insane, you were saved by a goddess who would have probably WILLINGLY provided all you needed and you imprison her?? BS movie don't recommend. See more Dean F. @DFtheTruth Apr 2 Fantastic horror movie. The world building is intense and the concept of the movie is awesome which they did perfect. Some of the most intense scenes that I've seen and the main character killed that role. Very resident evil/silent hill esque. Thought the end mightve got a little messy and I wish they would've explained some connections more. Ending was also cool with a subtle twist. See more Cole M. @colemcq Mar 2 Where to start, movie started off great and then just decided to get sloppy about an hour and twenty in. The villain is Malcom, oh never mind it’s actually the goddess, oh never mind again it’s Quinn, oh it’s the goddess again. Oh just kidding it’s Quinn and now he’s also a killer and wants to (touch without consent) people as well as creeps on his own daughter. They could’ve easily had a great movie if they stuck to one plot instead of jumping around. Also side note the black hoods is a crazy decision for costumes, another side note this is like 30% gore which I get some people like but this was not the film for it Let’s actually break down the rating. Acting. 4.5/5 Characters 3/5 Cinematography 5/5 Plot ?/5 Ending wtf/5 Overall. Mid movie that could’ve been great 2.5/5 Would’ve been better as a tv show See more Gerard B @Ferro Feb 10 Great story, poor development of characters See more Read all reviews
