FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/azrael-review-a-dialogue-free-horror-that-thrives-on-visuals-and-samara-weavings-magnetic-performance/

"Azrael is characterized by the absence of dialogue and a dense visual narrative, challenging viewers to interpret every detail. E. L. Katz's direction, combined with Mart Taniel's captivating cinematography, creates a mysterious, immersive atmosphere, though it doesn't always balance the story's ambiguity with the need for emotional impact.

Nonetheless, Samara Weaving's magnetic performance is the true pillar that holds the movie together, making it a compelling experience with several memorable moments of horror and violence, even if some of its more abstract elements may frustrate part of the audience.

An audacious, artful work with enough entertainment value to satisfy mainstream viewers."
