Movie Reviews of Apostate
Movie Review: Hopper and Grieco Are Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
And yet another movie review...a lazy Sunday
afternoon...the guru of movie-goers just had to watch
another...and this one still has remnants upon my
body...chill bumps the size of ladybugs.
Good evening. It's Paul again. Just finished
watching "The Apostate" - a film most moviegoers
probably never heard of. But I'm sure you are
familiar with Dennis Hopper and Richard Grieco.
This one is a one-of-a-kind creeper. It had me
thinking so deeply I wasn't sure if I could finish it
out. Being raised a Catholic, I related so well to
the insight...the tragedies...the compelling fear and
love of God in one fell swoop.
Not since his bizarre performance in "Blue Velvet" has
Dennis Hopper been more weird...eerie...downright
frightening. Here are a few lines from the film,
without giving away any of the plot:
"There is only one way to rid yourself of temptation
and that is to give into it."
"You believe in God don't you?. There's more evidence
of the devil."
Yes, it is creepy. It is actually freaky and very
much adult. It is filled with emotion, devotion and
fear. It contains a spine-tingling soundtrack and
puts you into a trance. I just couldn't let go of
this flick. I hung around to the very end, hoping its
worst nightmare would come to an end. And guess what?
It doesn't. Till the end, you will be guessing as
hints fly at you left and right.
So what is an Apostate? As defined by the
film..."falling away from what one believes in."
More quotes:
"Be careful out there. There are a lot of demons."
"The horror I am about to create...I need restraint."
And this one tops them all..."Did you slay the demons?
No. They don't die...they just lay in wait."
It is enthralling, captivating and inspiring. And it
all has to do with beliefs and art. But
remember..."all profound art looks ugly at first."
"The Apostate" gets a firm 10 in the psycho thriller
genre'. You may want to deem it a serial killer
thriller, but it goes much deeper than that.
Not for kids! Maybe not even suited for some adults.
Wanna be mesmerized with fear and quality acting from
Hopper and Grieco? "The Apostate" is for you.
