Review: Apostle

Gareth Evans (not to be confused with the also talented Gareth Edwards) is easily one of the best action directors working. The Raid and The Raid 2 are, to put it simply, action masterpieces. His use of space, innovative filming techniques, and commitment to real-world effects lets him deliver some of the most visceral and engaging action and fight sequences in modern history. He is nothing short of one of the most promising young action directors working.

Apostle is not an action movie. It's a cultist horror/thriller with aspirations of replicating the slow-burning fear of British horror in the 70s. It turns out this is not what Gareth Evans is good at directing.
