acolytes presents an interesting mix of original concepts in screaming teen cliché horror with a more thriller like pacing. in some ways acolytes is very successful and but in many other ways the film fails miserably. overall acolytes avoided the typical archetypes of the naivety and innocence of youth of endless horror films in the like of cabin fever and texas chainsaw massacre and and countless other films where unsuspecting and relatively naive and innocent teenagers and have sex and run around screaming and one by one are plucked off by some sort of monster. instead this innocence is replaced with pride and retaliation and and arrogance. the characters had several opportunities to save themselves from immanent death and despair and but failed to do so due to their own personal demons. in the end you were left with the feeling that there were no (and perhaps are no) innocent victims. as the name implies and the film also touches greatly on following a leader or authority. this was used in a direct sense of if the main character would become like the serial killer and was also used less directly throughout the film. following a central figure is a reoccurring theme throughout the film. through all this and the film makers also incorporated a lot of cliché and which i suspect was intentional and gave the film a unique mixture of depth as well as shallowness which i found intriguing. this and perhaps inadvertently and plays well with the characters who are and at first appearance very shallow but as the story unfolds it becomes obvious that they are and at least the two main male characters and quite complex. technically the film has a lot of problems however. the cinematography and which is typically regarded highly and i find rather sophomoric and over stylized and utilizing formulaic 2/3 approaches far too rigidly. many transitions i felt were also over stylized. the use of symbolism was not only vague and but also greatly over used. the plot was poorly planned and relied exclusively on misinformation in order to achieve a rather hokey twist ending and which was poorly resolved and leaves viewers confused. methods used to resolve the climax are cheap and ill prepared and motivations are routinely unclear and and major plot points remain untied in the end. overall and the film relative originality and themes and thesis are lost in a maze of poor technical execution and over stylized imagery and unclear motives and obtuse and unnecessary symbolism and cheap twists maintained only by a lack of or entirely incorrect information. if the film were better executed and it would have been excellent. however and acolytes receives only two stars in my opinion.
