Azrael 2024 Review. Azrael’s opening credits include two short text blurbs, telling us that there’s been a rapture that ended life as we know it, leaving a few survivors to subsist on whatever nature and the shards of former civilization have left to. Robert eggers’ staggeringly brave and atmospheric debut remains an unrelenting and provocative force of purest folk horror.
Samara weaving fights for her life in an inventive and exciting blend of folk and survival horror. Azrael is a thrilling sprint through a heretofore unexplored hellscape that had me riveted.
