Trailer: Dan Stevens and Michael Sheen star in Gareth Evans revenge thriller 'Apostle'

GregHarmon GregHarmon Managing Editor It’s hard not to get excited at the prospect of a Gareth Evans helmed revenge thriller starring Dan Stevens as a man who must save his sister (played by Sing Street’s Lucy Boynton) from a religious cult led by Michael Sheen.

Netflix's newest original thriller - Apostle - is directed by The Raid's Gareth Evans and stars Dan Stevens as Thomas Richardson, the "prodigal son" who must travel to a remote island upon learning his sister has been kidnapped by a murderous cult led by prophet Michael Sheen.

Netflix's first look features just about everything you would expect from a Gareth Evans-helmed film, including blood, lots of blood, and terrific prop use such as a 20th century drill press and grinder. According to the good prophet, his "dream of a world" where his people "rise equal" also involves the bloody act of God who happens to be the God of pain and suffering. Unfortunately for Stevens, it appears he and his sister's path to redemption will be met with unimaginable evils.

Check out the trailer. This looks terrific.

Apostle drops October 12 on Netflix.
