Apostle (2018)★★★☆☆

This is a long movie, and it’s not all that scary, but it’s not terrible. I think if you’re into old-fashioned (like turn of the 20th century “old”) cults and period pieces, you might be really into this movie? It also seems very British.

It definitely felt long and slow. There was a lot of build up, and most things that were built up paid off, but so slowly. Most of the really creepy stuff doesn’t even happen until an hour or so into the film.

The performances were all good. I like Lucy Boynton. Dan Stevens was…well, he was very watchable. I felt like the chemistry between everyone made sense, I mostly cared about the characters, and Michael Sheen was definitely creepy.

The last bit of the film was tense and more action-packed than the two hours before it, but I don’t know if I could recommend this movie just for the last few minutes. It’s not one that I’m interested in revisiting myself.
