Azrael

DATE: Wednesday, September 25
TIME: 9:30PM
VENUE: Gateway Theater Fort Lauderdale

Survivalist horror is alive and well in this pulse-pounding, dialog-less, post-apocalyptic vision from writer Simon Barrett (YOU’RE NEXT) that follows Azrael (Samara Weaving, delivering a powerhouse performance that’ll cement her place on the Mount Rushmore of modern scream queens), a desperate woman who is being hunted by a tenacious cult of mutes determined to use her in a sadistic ritual. Bursting with the raw intensity of EVIL DEAD and breakneck pace of MAD MAX: FURY ROAD, AZRAEL will have you gripping the armrests of your seat as this ferocious tale has you dodging and weaving past bullets, fanatics, and demons (oh my)!

It’s the post-apocalypse and after escaping captivity from a cult of mute religious fanatics, losing their ability to speak in the process, Azrael (Samara Weaving, READY OR NOT) and her partner Kenan (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, FEMME) are traversing the treacherous forest in an attempt to evade their captors and keep their freedom. However, after falling back into the clutches of evil, Azreal learns that she will be sacrificed to appease an ancient evil that lurks within the shadows of the trees. Not willing to become demon food for a cult that has only caused her harm, Azrael must fight tooth and nail to secure her and Kenan’s freedom in E.L. Katz’s (CHEAP THRILLS) vicious AZRAEL!
