An interesting gothic horror film which is more atmospheric in the first two acts but veers sharply (and successfully) into gore at the end.

_Apostle_ is well written, if a little slow at the beginning, but Dan Steven's uneven performance (he over-does it quite a bit at the end) is distracting.

There's also an argument to be made that a subplot is 'the environment'. That man is trying to harness nature and feed her poison to feed their own greed, yet by doing so they're destroying themselves and their community.

In short, _Apostle_ is nature horror that grows on you.

This folk horror is overlong, with a story that doesn't hold up to scrutiny. HOWEVER, that doesn't matter, as the expert direction and cinematic creativity on display here elevate the film to something approaching brilliance. It's not perfect, but as it's been a while since we've had a horror that has dared to lift itself out of the slasher pit the genre has fallen into, there is something to be celebrated here.

He suffered so much but I freaking love the gore, the cult and all!! Hope there'll be another from Gareth Evans!

A fascinating and thoroughly engaging film, with incredible direction, great performances, splendid cinematography and an unpredictable plot, even though there were some inconsistencies.

Richardson reminds me at times of Ash in Evil Dead, if he'd stumbled into that island in Wicker Man. I wrote that before he lost his hand, too.

It's a bit uneven, but well enough done.

It's a fusion of The Wicker Man (the original one, not the Cage one) and The Village. It's a bit too long, but it's good.
The only thing I didn't like was the ending, to be honest. Also the supernatural thing is not really explained [spoiler]I mean, there's this "goddess" of the island that controls nature but only if you feed her with blood. I thought this was a very important point to focus on, but it's just briefly explained through flashbacks... Also this deity can die, so I suppose it's not properly a goddess, but some sort of witch? Perhaps...[/spoiler].

It is a little too long and starts slow but it is interesting enough. Things get real weird in the third act, in a good way.

The good atmosphere does not hide all the holes in the script that has no where to take

Suspenseful, eerie and incredibly brutal in part with graphic violence, it made me uneasy and actually frightened. Many people seem to not like supernatural stories unless it's about ghosts, but I loved the supernatural elements in this one. Great movie.
