"Acolytes is a slow burn - we give a taste of treats
to come in the opening minutes (a half naked girl terrorized in the
forest; a punishing stunt) before we settle into our story of fucked-up
teens living on the edge of the city. But the story ramps - ominously,
believably, inevitably - to an extended climax of shocks, reveals,
twists, ultra-violence, gore and death. So hang in there for
car-crashing, head-smashing, crossbow-skewering, knife-slashing,
screwdriver-stabbing, serial-killering mayhem!"
