This is an advance review out of Fantastic Fest. Apostle premieres exclusively on Netflix on October 12. For his fifth full-length feature, Apostle, Gareth Evans has traded the pulse-pounding action thrills and exceptional martial arts acrobatics of The Raid for full blown folk horror with this grim, nasty and gnarly story about a religious cult in the early 20th century. The story follows Thomas Richardson (Dan Stevens), an ex-priest and the long-lost son of a wealthy man who returns home to find that his sister was kidnapped by a cult and is being held for ransom on a remote island.

It's a frequently surprising and jolting rush of action and comedy with inventive visuals and unexpected twists, grounded by a silent but extremely emotive and physical performance from Bill Skarsgrd. He's like Buster Keaton on steroids here as Boy, a beefy fighter who has trained for vengeance ever since the totalitarian rulers of his dystopic city murdered his family and made him deaf and mute.
