The leader Malcolm Howe (Michael Sheen) and two others started the community. Thomas sneaks onto the island. There is paranoid fear of the King's men and one assassin makes the attempt on Malcolm only to be saved by Thomas. Thomas discovers that the group is a supernatural blood cult.

This is The Wicker Man if that movie is any good. There is good tension and constant dread. It does need more in the introduction. At least, it should be clearer. It should start with him getting branded in China. That's a great scene and it could inject a little supernatural into the world. It also needs to declare the time and place more forcefully. Even with the two hour version, the intro needs more. Stevens and Sheen are both very solid. The visual imagination is beautiful. With the thick plot, it is a little choppy with many characters. A bit of trimming could help. Overall, this is a very good Netflix movie.,
