"Azrael" follows the titular character, a woman living in a post-rapture world where humans (or at least those in the cult of which she is a member) have removed their vocal cords, living a life of speechlessness, which they interpret as a virtue. Ousted from her group in the wilderness, Azrael is forced to fight as she is led to be a sacrifice to the humanoid creatures that prey on the living. In a film where spoken dialogue is nearly non-existent, storytelling can become tricky, though it has been executed nicely more than once. While some have pointed out this facet of "Azrael" as a gimmick, the truth is that a story like this doesn't (surprisingly) actually need dialogue. The framework here is indeed skeletal, and there is a lot of context that is never expounded upon, but I found that this film seemed to function effectively despite this, as the film's own logic is also pretty straightforward. There are clues and suggestions throughout that I found myself mentally chewing on after leaving the theater, but more out of curiosity than sheer frustration. What made the film work for me I think, above all else, is that it is a highly immersive viewing experience, and I suspect the lack of dialogue has something to do with this. It is also very slickly shot, and there is nary a dull moment as the lead character faces a series of visceral, violent trials and tribulations as she faces the creature-ridden forest in which her group of rapture leftovers reside. The gore is very much pronounced, and the practical effects are all very impressive. Samara Weaving gives a high-octane performance here, and the supporting cast all turn in equally effective work. The film really kicks into high gear in the last fifteen minutes, and ends with an image (and implication) that will keep you thinking afterward. Is it perfect? No. But it is certainly more inventive and interesting than any of the "A Quiet Place" sequels are. 8/10.

What a load of rubbish.. Nothing makes sense... speak or not, the girl is so dumb, she does all the stupidest things, and yet she still survives. The truck, she just walks away, it has so many supplies and survival items. The creator come for her and then turns and walks away. Haha the writers must be so high It could be a really good idea, but they ruined it.. bad acting, bad direction, and again, why on earth would she run into everything blind, they movie would be better if she couldn't see either.. they can't speak, they can't sign, but whistle like a bird is acceptable. Hahaha Don't waste your time..

Azrael, I tried, but it never managed to pace itself properly to land a satisfying movie. Instead, we are dragged through sloppy, blunt storytelling, lack of horror and scares, and just a poorly paced movie in general. I was looking forward to this actually, Weaving is great usually. And the premise looked intriguing. Whilst the movie had a decent start, it very quickly shows it's first few weaknesses. The cinematopgray is not one them though, for a movie shot in the woods, it's very easy to feel and look cheap, lack of budget. But there's a solid eye for the camera here and that's to be appreciated. Besides that action bits are alright, towards the end some unearned slow motion but it's okay. But, whilst the movie might look good. It fails at being a good horror or really building up good scares. Most of them fall somewhat flat. In due part to the monsters being somewhat meh, and the rules of the game being quite random. The story/writing is my main gripe and it starts off with a strange interaction with the lead and the somehow, instantly romantic partner, through a single weird moment. Complete strangers. Somehow we're supposed to believe they have this deep connection? Where is this coming from? Just poorly done and with enough care to really add the needed depth. It felt like it was in the wrong order, the hardship that came after should've been the foundation of them coming together. Not the other way around. Just odd. Beyond that, for a movie without words, you really need to pull off something special. And they just can't keep it up. The locations are not interesting enough nor is the journey, you can only film a forest so many ways. And the lack of creativity with the monsters and how they interact with the world is also lacking. Acting, a waste of Weaving, the rest of the cast was just fine. But convinced wouldn't be a word I could use to describe the acting. Sadly, the boredom took hold and for what it's worth the last bit of the movie has some good action. But at that point, I was done. The slow burn wasn't worth the trip.

Growing up in the Estonian forest, even I have more eerie memories than this film. It can be quite scary as it is but this movie doesn't add up to it. And it gets really dark here, they made it too bright for the night. If you're gonna make a movie where there are no lines (well one guy talked but there were no subtitles in the cinema for that), it has to be super exciting. This lacked so much of it. It was just dragging and kinda boring. And would be nice to get some answers through some kind of dialog, guess those questions will never be answered. No special scenery. The monsters are not scary, the movie is not scary. Samara is sight for sore eyes tho.

I don't know what annoyed me the most about Azrael: the fact that most people in the film don't speak, or that what little dialogue there is is totally unintelligible. Or the lack of plot, or that what little plot there is is hard to decipher. Samara Weaving plays Azrael, a woman trying to survive in a post-Rapture world where she is hunted by both humans and strange, bloodthirsty zombie-like creatures. And that's pretty much the whole story. Director E. L. Katz tries to keep things entertaining by providing action and gore, but it all gets very repetitive: when Azrael's not risking her life by repeatedly sneaking into the enemy camp (not once, not twice, but three times, somehow remaining unseen while doing so), she's trying to avoid being eaten by ghouls. The final act is nice and bloody and has a neat conclusion, but one can't help but feel that the whole thing would have worked much better as a short film, no more than 30 minutes. I rate Azrael 4.5/10 (rounded up to 5 for the gore).

If you've seen the previews, you know what it's about already. The film doesn't have any defined story line besides kill and let be killed. If I were in this setting, I would not survive because it seems like you have to be an ultra trail runner to escape bullets and monsters. For those who glut for gore, this is a solid 7/10. If you enjoy slow scare, this is also a solid 7/10. If you've seen plenty of horror films, the ending was predictable that the film is only a 4/10. Am unsure if writers and directors intend for a lesson or symbolisms but this film doesn't reveal any till the very last scene. I can go on about the metaphors but that was not why the film worked in terms of entertainment. It's a typical horror film.

I got up to go get a snack and actually missed the scene, but was taping it. So at first he's asking her, How are you? Kiel vi fartas. Later in the truck he's asking her, What language do you speak? Kiel lingvo vi parolas and he asks again, Language? Lingvo? And then he asks her, What happened? Kio okazis? My husband is deaf so the no speaking thing works for us.m Heck y'all, A q'Quiet Place! There was enough body language and facial expression to understand what was going on. And there were title cards interdispersed that gave you some inkling as to what was happening next. People have been raptured. The rest are the leftbehinds. Clans presumably have formed. Two individuals are outliers,(maybe escapees?) That clan wants them, presumably to sacrifice them to.... Something that lives in the woods and survives on blood. Now I'm thinking why not move from this particular area away from the clan? That would make some sense. But this is a movie, sooooo.... Anyway, the clan has a pregnant woman, who seems pretty violent and the clan seems to be hanging on to some remnant of an Abrahamic religion. The birth is anticipated to be the Second Coming, I think. At the climatic scene, the woman gives birth to.... Something.... That, methinks will become the new Messiah....

It has a lot of good intension to it despite only taking place over seemingly one day. The main character is very memorable-I won't spoil what she does or whom she might ultimately be-and it's a nice picture of what a post Rapture world, complete with men turned demon and survivalists. Weaving, who excels at this kind of character-driven action-horror, plays perfectly with our empathy, wordlessly guiding us through this damned land. This was a Solid Action/horror/film. Excellent acting. There is almost zero dialogue in the film but the actors kept the story going with their emotions. I did leave the theater with questions and I could not tell if I just missed something or if they never explained.
