no dialogue put me to sleep. very boring imo.
Another horror movie that was different, but really good. Definitely worth a watch!
so how'd anyone know her name was Azrael if she can't speak and, I'm assuming, the people that had her couldn't speak? seems kinda dumb to put such a glaring plot hole in the story for zero reason.
One of the worst movies I've seen in a while. It has a horrendous script, bad directing, terrible cinematography and mediocre acting. 80% of the movie is just a series of pointless, sometimes repetitive, events that do little to nothing to move the story forward. Azreal would have been much better as a 20 minute short film. Regarding the "no dialogue" aspect of the film, E. L. Katz and his team lacked the talent to make this work. It did not add to the suspense of the movie, it just made it that much more dull and uninteresting.
Gimmicky, sophomoric premise (after the Rapture, people have renounced the "sin" of speech), bad acting (Samara Weaving strains SO hard to act with facial expressions alone), and a paper-thin plot (demons roam the earth, and a cult of really dirty people who live in the woods kidnap other people to sacrifice to them -- I guess) add up to a total waste of time. I truly don't understand why this has 4/5 skulls.
