Brutal. Gory. Bloody. Savage. Relentless. Apostle… The Witch (2015) meets The Wicker Man – the 1973 one #justsaying.
Dan Stevens delivers an amazing performance, simultaneously tough as nails and broken. Michael Sheen (who speaks in his Welsh accent – rare), on the other hand, nails it as a false prophet, an ostensibly stalwart leader who is torn deep down and bearing the consequences of his (im)moral choices. Last but not least, writer/editor/director Gareth Evans uses the lens as he only knows how to bring to life a H. P. Lovecraft-esque mysticism and fantastical horror world for us to get lost in.
