Azrael (2024) - Movie Review

[@alpacino5694]

2:13 That was the worst part of Scream 6: she didnt kick ass covered in blood. And they wanted to make us believe that HER (Samara Weaving) of all people, needed to use Tinder to get a date.

[@nabeelmirza6060]

Yeah, that Tinder part I agree.

[@el_killorcure]

Credible if you give out "ice queen, high maintenance, psycho" vives and thus anyone who knows you steers clear of you, no matter how hot you are...

[@jeffn4836]

Her in that yellow dress. God damn

[@soccerdude12793]

Samara Weaving is a queen and needs to be in more things

[@DannyKnightblade45]

She was great in Ready or Not.

[@coreycarnegie5990]

Samara once again covered in blood? I'm sold already😂

[@RobertParks-h7r]

Yep She looks Sweet n Sticky.Nuff Said.

[@peterstrianus1790]

The casting was done in my country, Estonia, and it was filmed here too.

[@Mountains4ever]

I can honestly say, I have never heard of any of the movies you have been reviewing lately but you definitely gave me a list of movies to watch soon!

[@raycar9827]

Samara Weaving is my pick for Harley Quinn.

[@noodlesnoodlesnoodles6768]

God I thought I was the only one who wanted her to play Harley Quinn so bad and she's amazing

[@bencepelikan7176]

Rather Andrea Beaumont/Phantasm.

[@bsharp3281]

It's interesting, Hollywood still finds ways to sneak silent movies into their output. Silent movies have a uniquely lyrical language that can storytell today just as it could in the 20s

[@lyledurand]

Samara Weaving is my favorite movie genre

[@gerudconley1759]

well we got the quiet place apocalypse where people don't speak much

[@Moggleberries]

I will watch anything she’s in

[@corvusglaive3805]

Ok the praise for the actress is cool . I focus on the actual script, the writing and directing is so important. Sometimes even the most talented actors can’t save a blahzay script.

[@secularbelt]

Azreal is Gargamel’s cat. I thought everyone knew that.

[@bruh_hahaha]

Could have used a little more meat on the bones in the script department, but the blood n gore did not disappoint. Samara Weaving is scream goddess.

[@harryparsons2750]

What script? Nobody talks lol

[@bruh_hahaha]

@@harryparsons2750 a movie script isn’t just dialogue.

[@baronr.junior8628]

​@@bruh_hahahaHonestly this movie was terrible. It makes no sense of how Samara had been surviving the past years in the woods without seeming to have experience with the blood cannibals, or the cannibal worshippers. If she did have experience due to the whistling why they have a means of defense or escape established. Why go to a camp full of people with no plan and get distracted reminiscing about a crappy bracelet just to get caught. Why hide under the house. Why are they worshipping blood cannibals. Why during the first sacrifice did only one cannibal show up and why was it so slow. If there's multiple and faster ones where were they at. They would know that area too because of the common sacrifices with blood smell. Why when she got caught in the trap was nobody else there from the 100 people at camp chasing her. Why why whyyyy is this movie so terrible??!!!

[@lawrenceluebbert21]

I don’t know anything about biblical stories. I was lost most of the movie. I enjoyed some of it but my mind started wandering after 30 minutes of having no idea what is going on

Well, may give it a shot, even if watching it may have me wondering what in the blue hell is going on, specially with no speaking. Either way, it must have been a challenge for the actors to do this movie, which I'll give them credit for that. Thank you, Cody.

[@dropboxmoabit384]

Yeah, that film was good. Azrael was a monster letdown, such a confusing and pointless snoozefest.

[@williedynamite3745]

This movie didn’t do it for me. Tuned in for Samara Weaving and almost turned it off. Solid gore and decent action but outside of that it was incredibly boring and felt longer than the 85 minute runtime. The lack of dialogue felt more like a gimmick than a necessary part of the story and really dragged the film down for me. 4/10

[@antoniak7455]

100% agree Samara Weaving is amazing 😊

[@nathanslay6342]

Well glad to know that this isn’t another Silent Night like from last year. Might check this one out due to the concept being interesting. Great review!

[@Hobblone-xe3jv]

Azrael is an usher to the afterlife, shared by musslims & Hebrews, once the same religion, until christianity.Angel of Death, also a reference, is like Abbadon, both benevolent & malevolent.He is the son of Enoch, & some see & hear him at the foot of their bed giving an ultimatum; He stands 30 ft tall.

[@gooberstankable]

Saw this 2 days ago and wasnt for me. The lack of dialogue really hurt it for me. Fucked up ending though! Nah for me its 1) The Substance 2) Strange Darling and see what the Fall brings

[@EliteBadFrog]

The Rapture doesn’t make any sense because of the random foreign dude in the pick up truck who picked up Azrael. He also gave off vibes that there wasn’t anything strange going on at all and was just vibing to music

[@SceneByScott]

He seemed like a foreigner to the area and wasn't aware of the cutting your vocal cords for yr sins thing. Like there's a world out there that is surviving without this rapture belief.

[@EliteBadFrog]

@SceneByScott yeah but wouldn’t the rapture be some world wide phenomenon? Like the driver was just a happy guy going on his way like nothing happened. Or was the rapture something that only took place in that particular area… so many questions and plotholes in this movie… I think the idea was/is super cool but the execution could have been much better 6/10 for me

[@BrandonJames2016]

Literally the only reason ima go see this movie is bc of Samara Weaving.

You are such an idiot. Always expect to be spoon feed everything and can't think on your own. Typical low IQ person.

[@seanyonthemic]

Watching this one now….as a Christian. I think they were taking certain passages and bringing their own twist to it. I was understanding what they were going for. I like the ambiguity and setting of the film, the original concept, and the short run time, but overall it’s not for me. It felt like a slam bang horror survival with some zombie like monsters. I just wish there was a bit more story and character and may have liked it less than you, Cody. It’s just one that’s not fully for me but I appreciate it

[@littlemonstercomics]

Like John woo's silent night, I need dialogue. I just feel in my own opinion, it's kind of lazy for everyone to be silent.

[@kaylek3874]

Just saw it last night and I went in without any expectations. Didn’t think it was scary but rather a strange movie. A lot of unnecessary gore in my opinion. Similar to the Descent in that sense but not nearly as good. I liked the ending and think overall it was a decent film.

[@JoseMunoz-vs4tr]

It's an alright zombie film. Heavily disagree with this putting a "creative spin" on a rapture story. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen related to the premise of this being a post rapture world, that it ended up just kinda distracting me from the movie and leaving me feeling disappointed by the end. There are crazy, religious cults now, how does the rapture actually happening make them different? How has it affected this world? Did the random dude driving by care or was affected in any way? Did he not know that there were crazys in the forest? Why were Azrael and dude so nonchalant at the beginning when they were still not that far from the cult encampment? Why were the cultist so set on feeding Azrael to the damned instead of just killing her?

[@djcruiselover3827]

I was excited when you started talking about this until you pointed out that nobody talks in the movie. It just turned into a straight up pass for me.

I’m not sure if we seen the same movie but it sounds like the one I watched and it really sucked. I don’t know how azreal (Samara) survives at all. I don’t think she competent as she make the stupidest mistakes. I fully understand the lore and what the movies about but still could have been better. Overall I thought it suck. It’s okay to watch but it’s not even in my top 100.

Agree, it was Okay, but not that great especially considering all the plotholes such as the random foreign truck driver coming along out of nowhere who was just vibing to music

[@TSIRAN]

Without spoiler is there cannibalism in the movie ? And the monsters are ghosts or demons ?

[@timodijkstra24]

The monsters look like burned people and the monsters eat people. So kinda yes but actually no, since the real people in the movie are not cannibals. The monsters in the movie are not explained, I'm guessing their some sort of demon or creatures from hell but you don't actually find out

[@davevannatta985]

You had me sold when you mentioned Samara Weaving covered in blood. She's definitely my favorite actress today

This movie was fairly awful. They should have titled it 'Azrael: Angel of Plotholes'. The last 10 mins was the only enjoyable part of this film for me.

I burst out laughing when that latex fetish monster came on screen. Every time it hid behind a tree and showed itself again, I cackled. After that ridiculous introduction I just couldn't take the movie seriously anymore. The lack of dialog was nail in the coffin, though. At first, I thought I could enjoy the movie while laughing at it, but after 45 minutes I didn't care about anything and was bored. In short, the movie was good for a laugh for the first 20 or so minutes, then it just got dumb and boring and then it ended.

[@IvanSanchez-ft3mp]

I see that the movie is fun to watch but if they failed with the no dialogue and not explaining more about the characters and what happened exactly....the movie will suffer for that. I will not stop of bringing this up again lol...watch Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal because the 1st episode it pretty much explains Spear and Fang's story were both have a tragic outcome (won't say much but shows how Spear does something that you can tell without any dialogue what he was planning to do) Seriously the series has no dialogue and it captured how these characters are thinking, how they feel and how they develop while they are together. If the movie doesn't do any of that then they should take notes from Primal because not only you care for these characters to survive but the other characters that they encounter where they have their own story to tell and you do feel sorry for them.
