What the Critics say: “Acolytes is a film that rigorously follows the formula of its genre; it’s fast paced, low on dialogue and has enough suspense to run your adrenal glands dry. The element of fear is unrelenting throughout the film, achieved through the scattering of sudden, blurry flashbacks, and a chilling soundtrack that leaves you skeptical of even the most visually tranquil scenes.” – Keith Harwood, Laneway Magazine Read More:“You’ll be immersed in the film from start to finish, which is one of the most important aspects of any viewing experience. Consider this film a huge success and accomplishment and make sure to check it out as soon as you can, it won’t disappoint.” – Brad Miska, Bloody Disgusting Horror Read More:“Beautifully shot and wickedly smart in execution Acolytes is driven by powerhouse performances from its two adult leads, the seemingly omnipresent Joel Edgerton – you can count on seeing either him or his brother in the credits of virtually every smart genre oriented film coming out of Australia right now – as the blackmailed killer and Michael Dorman as Parker. Both deliver fierce, magnetic, carefully nuanced performances in very demanding roles and both are brilliant” – Todd Brown, Twitch Film “The genre film is king in Australian cinema currently and "Acolytes" sits at the quality end of the spectrum; it's more restrained than a slasher film, less patronizing than much teen-targeted horror and has a decidedly polished look to its art direction and cinematography.” – Megan Lehmann, Hollywood Reporter “…Acolytes is a skilfully executed piece of filmmaking in a genre that traditionally has provided far too few success stories in this country. It manages to be a riveting ride and one layered with a series of slowly converging sub-plots, whilst sporting an authentically vicious edge - one that ultimately leaves a nasty but not dissatisfying aftertaste in your mouth.” – David O’Connell – In Film Australia About.com:Horror & Suspense Movies
