In a world in which no one speaks, a mysterious, devout community hunts down a young woman named Azrael (Samara Weaving) who has escaped their imprisonment. Recaptured by its ruthless leaders, she is to be sacrificed to pacify an evil which resides deep within the surrounding wilderness -- but Azrael will stop at nothing to ensure her own freedom and survival. From the seeds of this gritty, relentless parable of sacrifice and salvation, comes an immersive, real-time, action horror tale from the visionary minds of Simon Barrett and E.L. Katz.

Critics Consensus

Lead by another bloody fantastic performance from Samara Weaving, Azrael sacrifices depth on the altar of storytelling economy but delivers pure adrenaline in the bargain.

The filmmakers give birth to a new nightmare, one overflowing in possibilities and, it should be noted, several purposefully unanswered questions. Azrael is a blood-soaked blast.

Rated: 3/4

Bloody Disgusting

Weaving’s capable performance and the visceral siege horror ensure this dialogue-free experiment succeeds.

It’s chase sequence after chase sequence with hints of context here and there, just enough to hold the story together but not enough to fully explain everything.

Rated: 1/4

Culture Mix

Azrael has adequate acting, but the screenplay is too weak, nonsensical, and repetitive in this horror movie about a woman trying to escape from a cult in the woods. The movie's gimmick of having almost no speaking gets tiresome very quickly.

to enjoy this film, you need to abandon your preconceptions of the original Biblical fan fiction and just go with writer Simon Barrett and director E.L. Katz’s creation without asking too many questions otherwise you are bound to be frustrated.

Eye for Film

We get demonstrations of skill, from the weaving of a bracelet to the use of herbs to treat a wound, and these elements reinforce the idea that this is a real society which has developed organically over time.

Rated: 2.5/5

I don't need to be spoon fed but wtf??? This needs more structure and explanation in its telling. Movie concept was interesting.

Starts off questionable but the third act definitely saves the entire film. Samara Weaving delivers a strong performance as expected. It’s a fun one worth a watch.

Worst movie of 2024. Not sure how or why it made it past the movie festival and onto IFC. It’s literal garbage
