Amongst a slew of high profile fall releases to hit Netflix in 2018 is the next film from The Raid director Gareth Evans, and now the streaming giant has dropped the trailer to the Wicker Man-looking nightmare, The Apostle, starring Dan Stevens (Beauty and the Beast, Legion). Check it out here…
And here’s our interview from earlier this year where Stevens talked briefly about working with director Gareth Evans…
London, 1905. Prodigal son Thomas Richardson (Dan Stevens) has returned home, only to learn that his sister is being held for ransom by a religious cult. Determined to get her back at any cost, Thomas travels to the idyllic island where the cult lives under the leadership of the charismatic Prophet Malcolm (Michael Sheen). As Thomas infiltrates the island’s community, he learns that the corruption of mainland society that they claim to reject has infested the cult’s ranks nonetheless – and uncovers a secret far more evil than he could have imagined. Written and directed by Gareth Evans (THE RAID), APOSTLE is a harrowing occult fable where the only thing more horrifying than madness is the sinister reality behind it.
Apostle is set to arrive on Netflix on October 12th.
