Review of Apostle

Apostle (2018)
8/10
The horryfying nature of men is scarier than the horrors of the supernatural.
14 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I saw this film without watching the trailer, without checkin about the star cast n without reading anything about it. The name of Gareth Evans was suffice. Been a huge fan of him after Merantau, Raid 1 n 2 n Killers.

After completion, I was not at all disappointed.

I was waiting for a movie like Black Death n this movie came like a pleasant surprise.

The cinematography is top notch n the music appropriate. Dan Stevens n Sheen did a wonderful job.

The film started with some beautiful scenery of the train on the bridge n the island hamlet resembling a poetry.

There is something sinister about films based on cult theme.

There is one particular ritualistic killing scene. That made me cringe man.

Fans of Black Death, The Sacrament n Wicker Man will definitely enjoy this.

My two cribs - If only the pagan goddess shown was as hot as Carice van Houten from Black Death.

There was no explanation regarding the Grinder n the Witch.
