Le Bon apôtre

...Evans er (...) mest vital og mærkbar som filmskaber, når han får lov til at udtrykke sig i brutale torturscener og åbne kødsår. Dér ser man den store visuelle voldsfortæller.

Polarizing yet undeniably fascinating, the bait-and-switch horror film lures its viewer into a false sense of terrified security before pouncing in an anything-goes frenzy, and Evans’s latest is a prime specimen.

Evans treats the camera (manned by his longtime collaborator Matt Flannery) almost as a character unto itself. Movement is vital to the film’s efficacy, lending urgency to its ghastliest sequences and even its more hushed moments of dread.
