Azrael

With its animal sensoriality, Azrael uses no words to immerse its viewers in an atmosphere somewhere between folk horror and post-apo survival. The pace is breathtaking, the action scenes follow one another to heady music and sounds, offering no respite! Azrael is a slap in the face that has nothing to envy of big productions such as John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place (2018) or Susanne Bier’s Bird Box (2018). Special mention must go to Samara Weaving's breathtaking performance as the embodiment of hope in a struggle for freedom. A little gem gets of independent cinema, this film will leave its mark on all who see it.
