Samara Weaving's latest horror film, Azrael, is now in theaters. This new horror extravaganza from IFC Films and Shudder features a post-apocalyptic twist; all the characters in the story are entirely mute.
The plot follows the titular character, Azrael, when she is forced against her will to be a human sacrifice to a supernatural force. However, she escapes before being fed to the forest's deadly creatures, kickstarting a game of cat and mouse in which she is hunted down by both her captors and the mysterious monsters.
The movie debuted today, Friday, September 27, 2024, just a few days before we welcome the spooky month of October. Despite being a Shudder production, sci-fi horror is available exclusively in theaters.
