Samara Weaving's signature scream is muted in this nearly-wordless post-Rapture horror film from the writer of You're Next, that Film Brain has some positive things to say about.

SCREEN QUEEN SAMARA WEAVING IS SILENCED IN THE HORROR FILM ASRIEL
00:05
Set in a post-Rapture world where many have renounced speaking as a sin,
00:09
Weaving's title character escapes being sacrificed by a cult
00:13
and tries to fend them off while finding her captured lover.
00:17
It's audacious on the part of Your Next writer Simon Barrett
00:20
and Cheap Thrills director E.L. Katz to stage an almost entirely dialogue-free horror film,
00:25
following in the footsteps of a quiet place and no one will save you,
00:28
but they pull her off thanks to some fantastic sound design
00:32
and just sheer kinetic visual filmmaking.
00:35
Oh, and the always compelling Weaving who lets her expressive face do all the talking
00:40
as she fends through this godforsaken land against zealots and burnt men that feast on blood.
00:46
I really liked Asriel, I thought it flew by in just 84 minutes
00:50
that are jam-packed with action, suspense and plenty of gore for horror fans,
00:55
so don't be silent because more people should be talking about this.
