What Critics Are Saying About "Apostle"
- "Evan departs from his usual action fare to weave a gripping story centered around unique Pagan-like mythology steeped in blood and sacrifice. It's folk horror, but with a new level of brutality and viscera unlike most of its ilk." - Meagan Navarro, Bloody Disgusting
- "The blood-soaked and metaphorically charged second half is sure to leave some squirming in their seats. But it's fitting in this examination of oppression under the guise of religion and the costs of misguided faith." - Keith Garlington, Keith& the Movies
- "The director's propensity for indulgence leads to numerous scenes that - while often harrowing in the moment - feel protracted, meandering, and disconnected from the story as a whole." - Andrew Wyatt, The Lens
