O Apóstolo
A gothic horror story presented through stunning stop-motion animation, O Apostolo follows an escaped convict on his way to a remote Spanish town, determined to recover his cellmate’s hidden loot. Instead, he finds a town where the citizens are just a little too hospitable, the houses a little too sinister and nothing is quite what it seems. As the plot unfolds, ancient secrets will be revealed, unhappy spirits are summoned, and an ages-old curse will make its consequences felt.

With its beautifully detailed locations, expressive puppets and an evocative score by the one and only Phillip Glass, O Apostolo creates a world of fantasy, chills and humour that, like the woods surrounding its mysterious town, is all too easy to get lost in.
