Apostle leaves a lot to be desire despite great potential.

| Original Score: C | Mar 8, 2023

The blood-soaked and metaphorically charged second half is sure to leave some squirming in their seats. But it’s fitting in this examination of oppression under the guise of religion and the costs of misguided faith.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 19, 2022

The results absolutely deliver, and Evans creates an effectively creepy setting that feels authentic and tactile.

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 29, 2022

Episode 13: Raison D'être

| Original Score: 60/100 | Sep 1, 2021

A bloody good horror movie for Halloween...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 29, 2021

Apostle may look like a typical period piece on the surface, but the horrors that divulge within take it to another level.

| Jan 2, 2021

...the movie suffers from an exceedingly (and excessively) deliberate pace that slowly-but-surely renders its myriad of positive attributes moot...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 5, 2020

...an interesting idea that ultimately devolves into silliness.

| Jul 24, 2020

A mixture of 'hell is other people' and 'there's something nasty in the woodshed' vibe, I was surprised and honestly, scared.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 2, 2019

The film, starring a Dan Stevens that emanates charisma, is not afraid of taking risks when combining genres in constant evolution. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 3, 2019

Just barely delivers on its creepy folklore with its various twists and turns failing to fulfill its potential.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 19, 2019

The terror's good enough. Underneath is a compelling story that eviscerates organised religion in all its forms as a destructive, malicious, and repressive force.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | May 1, 2019

Apostle is a deeply satisfying trek into the unknown. There is gore, there is violence, there is mystery, and yes - even some goats.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Apr 9, 2019

Apostle perfectly illustrates how destructive the patriarchy is; how power is corruptive; how religion can so easily be twisted into ugliness; how men react with violence ...

| Mar 3, 2019

[Apostile] attempts to offer us a bit more than just action sequences with insanely kinetic physical clashes. Indeed, the film tells a super dark story.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 15, 2019

Gareth Evans' slow-burn, fantastical horror film...is truly a grim fairy tale.

| Jan 9, 2019

Gothic horror pic that's all style and o little substance.

| Original Score: B- | Dec 17, 2018

Evans departs from his usual action fare to weave a gripping story centered around unique Pagan-like mythology steeped in blood and sacrifice. It's folk horror, but with a new level of brutality and viscera unlike most of its ilk.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Dec 17, 2018

The director's propensity for indulgence leads to numerous scenes that - while often harrowing in the moment - feel protracted, meandering, and disconnected from the story as a whole.

| Original Score: C+ | Dec 7, 2018

If it's undeniably riddled with imperfections, Apostle is still a worthy new venture from an abundantly talented filmmaker.
