E.L. Katz’ new action horror film Azrael has almost no spoken dialogue, which makes it easy to miss some of the more crucial explanations of the world in which the movie takes place. Starring one of horror’s greatest scream queens, Samara Weaving, Azrael takes place in a post-apocalyptic world many years after the biblical Rapture, the final ascension of the holy and righteous into Heaven. The survivors are plagued by demonic humanoid creatures known as the Burned Ones, who constantly hunger for human flesh and blood.
