Azrael

Azrael is a 2024 American folk horror film directed by E. L. Katz.

A near-wordless survival film in a post-apocalypse where a cult has cut out their own tongues.

In a future after the Rapture, a community that has surgically silenced itself hunts a young woman who has escaped, intending to sacrifice her to the burned creatures in the woods.

E.L. Katz made a film with almost no dialogue at all, since the characters cannot speak, which turns it into a pure chase told through action, and Samara Weaving carries it physically as a woman who simply will not be caught.

The world-building is done entirely visually: the scars on throats, the ritual, the ash-covered creatures, none of it explained.

It is lean, brutal and fully committed to its silence, and it trusts the audience to assemble the theology from what it sees.

At around 85 minutes it does not outstay the concept, and the final image is a genuine escalation.
