Elaine:
[in her letter]
My dearest father... I pray that you have not been consumed with worry in the time that has passed since I was taken. I write to you in the hope that you will put an end to my suffering on this wretched island. My captors inform me that if I am to survive, you must travel here alone with the means to purchase my freedom. That should a man of lawbe sent in your stead, it would seal my fate. Father, I grow weary.
Charles:
[now reading it out loud]

I saw this film without watching the trailer, without checkin about the star cast n without reading anything about it. The name of Gareth Evans was suffice. Been a huge fan of him after Merantau, Raid 1 n 2 n Killers.
After completion, I was not at all disappointed.
I was waiting for a movie like Black Death n this movie came like a pleasant surprise.
The cinematography is top notch n the music appropriate. Dan Stevens n Sheen did a wonderful job.
The film started with some beautiful scenery of the train on the bridge n the island hamlet resembling a poetry.
There is something sinister about films based on cult theme.
There is one particular ritualistic killing scene. That made me cringe man.
Fans of Black Death, The Sacrament n Wicker Man will definitely enjoy this.
My two cribs - If only the pagan goddess shown was as hot as Carice van Houten from Black Death.
There was no explanation regarding the Grinder n the Witch.
