Our favourite Scream Queen, Samara Weaving (Ready or Not, Scream VI) leads the cast of the upcoming Azrael from writer Simon Barrett (The Guest, You’re Next, Godzilla x Kong), with a new trailer from IFC Films ahead of the horror film’s release September 27th.

The high concept action-horror film is directed by E.L. Katz (The Haunting of Bly Manor, Cheap Thrills). The synopsis is as follows: “In a world in which no one speaks, a devout female-led community hunts down a young woman (Weaving) who has escaped her imprisonment. Recaptured by its ruthless leaders, Azrael is to be sacrificed to pacify an ancient evil that resides deep within the surrounding wilderness – yet she will stop at nothing to ensure her own freedom and survival. From the seeds of this gritty, relentless parable of sacrifice and salvation, comes an immersive, rela-time, action horror tale.”

Azrael had its world premiere earlier this year at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, before screening at the Overlook Film Festival and at the 28th Fantasia International Film Festival. It will release to cinemas on September 27th, 2024, before streaming on Shudder at a date to be confirmed.
