Azrael Interview: E.L. Katz & Samara Weaving on Dialogue-Free Horror Movie By ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese spoke to Azrael director E.
L. Katz and star Samara Weaving about the unique horror movie. The duo discussed the lack of dialogue, the physical scenes, and more.
From IFC Films and Shudder, it is now playing in select theaters. “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,” says the synopsis.
