12 Hidden Horror Movie Gems Of The Last Decade
11. Apostle
As a period horror movie set in 1905, following a murderous cult making blood sacrifices to keep their remote island fertile, Apostle is every bit as weird as you would expect it to be.
Michael Sheen stars as cult leader, Malcolm, making the movie worth a watch straight away, but it is Dan Stevens' work as Thomas that steals the show. After his sister is kidnapped for ransom by the mysterious group, Thomas travels to the island and poses as a cult follower to infiltrate and rescue her.
Of course, this wouldn't be much of a movie if everything was as simple as that. As Stevens' character gets deeper into the cult, there are fewer questions answered as there are new ones raised, but the mystery surrounding the island is part of the movie's appeal.
It is an incredibly tense ride from start to finish, balanced nicely with more than enough blood and gore, and though it is possibly marginally longer than it needs to be, it is certainly an immersive movie watching experience that won't disappoint.
