Azrael (2024) is a grim and unsettling survival horror film set in a post-apocalyptic world where speaking is forbidden and silence is a matter of life and death.

Samara Weaving stars as Azrael, a young woman captured by a fanatical cult that believes silence is the only way to survive in a world haunted by monstrous creatures drawn to sound.

When she escapes, Azrael is forced into a brutal fight for survival through dark forests and ruined landscapes, relying on instinct, violence, and sheer willpower. Weaving delivers a raw, physically demanding performance, conveying fear, rage, and determination almost entirely without dialogue.

Directed by E.L. Katz, the film leans heavily on visual storytelling, tense atmosphere, and visceral action, blending folk horror with relentless chase sequences. Bleak, violent, and oppressive, Azrael explores themes of control, faith, and survival in a world where even a whisper can mean death.
