So You Want To Be An Acolyte

Well, I don't think I've reviewed this movie yet, lol! It can be hard to keep a track sometimes. I think I've only done one double review in my life, and that was a Batman game. It's a good game, ha. This time I got "Acolytes". The word acolyte refers to a student. An assistant if you will. A protégé. In this movie we have a killer burying a body in the woods and a kid sees what happened. He waits for the guy to go away and inspects the scene. This is an Australian movie by the way. One of the better ones. So the kid goes to school and gets two of his friends to try to blackmail the killer into killing a bully. Nice idea but a dangerous game to play. This starts to work at first but quickly it frays into madness as the bully counter offers the killer. Now the killer and the bully are on the same side. What we end up with is a standoff of sorts. The girl gets kidnapped and the guy that likes her is force to go looking for her. His friend has gone missing but later he finds out what really happened to him. The outcome is looking grim in this one already at this point. He tries to set her free and the killer comes back. His wife happens to be in the dark corner of this room with a knife. It turns out the killer is married to another killer! And they have a baby even. How twisted is that! The kid that wants to save his girlfriend meets a bad fate and learns why he was a bad student, or in other words, acolyte. The girl ends up being the survivor. It's an unapologetic, uncompromising, and realistic approach to show you how bad choices can lead to more bad choices. This movie does not go down the path you would think. Can killers fall in love with each other? Maybe.
