Bobby J @Bob_K_Jones_III Aug 20 This movie will creep you out for months. It's rare to find movies that can truly be categorised along with The Shining and others. Movies that undermine you on some deep level are rare - when you find them, enjoy the experience of feeling fear and dread that they evoke. Plenty of movies elude to "Satan" and evil in general. Many of them are crude and uncultured, and sometimes, all they can offer is synthesised deep voices and jump scares. They disrespect people's time by substituting guff for true entertainment. This movie is for real - it would scare me just listening to the score. Outstanding!!!

I love the 50s noir mixed with horror vibe. The voodoo practical effects look brutal and surprisingly real at times. Mickey Rourke is excellent and completely embodies the character, while Robert De Niro is great even with limited screen time. My biggest issue is that you can figure out the ending pretty easily. I also didn't love Harry recording his case for Cyphre. It felt like a way to remind the audience what was happening and where the story was going, which took me out of the movie a few times. I think they could have shaved about 10 minutes off the runtime as well. Overall, Angel Heart feels ahead of its time. It isn't perfect, but the atmosphere, performances, and blend of noir and horror make it a great watch.

The clues are all there, leading to a haunting ending you'll be turning over in your head for days. See more Travis M @TMorg007 Jul 10 Mickey Rourke in his prime did a fair job. Lisa Bonet in her prime had the appeal the warrant a lead role. It's a dark story that is worth a watch, save for the craptastic performance of Robert Deniro as the devil. His portrayal was so stupid it completely brought me out of the story. It's comically bad. It's seriously a tie between Deniro and the chicken that got sacrificed for which one should have been deleted from the script; probably both. If you can sit through the goofy devil scenes then you might have the patience of a saint. See more William L. @RT70826415 May 9 Angel Heart was a truly amazing experience. Directed by Alan Parker, Starring Mickey Rourke as private investigator Harry Angel who is hired by Louis Cypher (Played by Robert De Niro) to investigate and find a man who owes Cypher. As the story moves forward, Angel learns more and more than he bargains for. This film has mystery, neo noir, and many metaphors. Amazing dialogue, acting, and storytelling. Very fascinating and worth the watch! See more André D @RT63576551 May 4 The ending of this movie was spectacular, an incredible plot twist. It’s definitely worth watching. See more Read all reviews
