Teenage friends James Tresswick and Mark Vincent are the victims of a brutal bully - Gary Parker. Wandering alone around an isolated forest they stray upon an adult male filling in a trench. It's suspicious and tantalizing. When they return they bring shovels and exhume the ghostly white body of a woman. The 'trench' is a grave. The 'adult male' is her killer. Could this be the answer to their problem? They hatch a plan to find the killer and blackmail him into murdering the bully who has victimized them all their lives. What could go wrong?

A clichéd story about group a of teenagers without any sense of self-preservation who try to blackmail a serial killer, who, of course, takes brutal revenge. If you add to this a very high number of holes in logic (in what universe can something like this happen?), what you get is a film that doesn’t deserve any attention at all.

Acolytes is a movie that disappoints me a lot because its potential wasn't fully realized. This could have been really depressing; it could have hit the viewer like a proper downer, where you'd feel like everything in the world is wrong. Instead, it's just an ordinary teen horror where the young people behave like jerks, and you don't even wish for them to survive. Good potential, but ultimately a pretty pointless movie.
