Apostle

Apostle (2018) is a grim folk-horror mystery from Gareth Evans you can watch online on iFILM. The year is 1905. Dan Stevens plays a haunted man who sails to a remote Welsh island to find his kidnapped sister.

The island belongs to a sealed religious community led by a preacher played by Michael Sheen. The sect holds the woman for ransom — their crops are dying, money is short, and her father is rich. Posing as a new convert, the brother slips into the settlement and starts watching its rites. The longer he stays, the clearer it becomes: something far older and hungrier than fanaticism feeds beneath the prayers.

Evans, the director behind the brutal action of The Raid, trades fists for dread, building slow ritual horror soaked in blood and bog. Made for Netflix, the film spares its audience nothing. Stream Apostle (2018) online on iFILM.
