Apostle: Intensely brutal trailer for Netflix horror released

The first trailer has been released for Apostle, the upcoming film from The Raid and The Raid 2 filmmaker Gareth Evans.

Set in the UK in 1905, the horror movie centres on a man going to an island to rescue his sister from a religious cult that's holding her for ransom.

It's an intense video that teases a great deal of brutality, including various forms of torture - this will not be a film for the faint of heart.

Apostle's official synopsis describes it as "a harrowing occult fable where the only thing more horrifying than madness is the sinister reality behind it".

It stars Dan Stevens, Michael Sheen, Lucy Boynton, Mark Lewis Jones, Bill Milner, Kristine Froseth and Paul Higgins.

Apostle is set for an international release through Netflix in October.
