‘Apostle’ review: Netflix’s newest film is a brutal, gory tale with a supernatural twist
‘The Raid’ director Gareth Evans shocks audiences with his unique yet deeply disturbing and ultra-violent film ‘Apostle’
Director Gareth Evans is no stranger to the horror genre, however in his new film ‘Apostle’ he certainly pushes the envelope. The film starts off as a slow burn, not giving audiences any real indication of what lies ahead. However, be warned, this 129 minute film is filled with more blood and gore than a dozen slasher films combined.
‘Apostle’ follows Thomas Richardson (played by Dan Evans), the alienated son of a rich industrialist who joins an island cult incognito to save his sister Andrea (played by Lucy Boynton) who is being held for ransom by deranged prophet named Malcolm (played by Michael Sheen).
