Offbeat Faustian voodoo tale about the descent of a sleazy private detective into hell.November 22, 2009
Metaphysical and emotional anemia is an important tradition in cult horror/mystery, a category the daffy plot twists and crimson, incestuous excesses of Angel Heart sit quite cozily in.April 26, 2017
[This genre] is especially satisfying for me because it mixes menace from two sources. There is no femme more fatale than Mr. Scratch. There is no noir darker than the promise of the pits of hell.May 06, 2005
A hot little movie with even hotter performancesNovember 25, 2002
Erotic, twisty and incredibly disturbed. Splendid!August 21, 2002
One of the few truly great modern horror filmsJuly 25, 2003
Este excepcional noir conta com maravilhosa fotografia, edição primorosa, roteiro envolvente e - o mais importante - uma atuação genial de Rourke, digna de Marlon Brando.February 05, 2004
An underappreciated thriller with a sizzling Lisa Bonet to boot!July 26, 2002
Alan Parker's pulp sensibilities are beautifully honed by this razor-sharp piece of occult noir.October 19, 2012
The book's so good it deserves a better movie, but Rourke's performance is such that Angel Heart stands out from the necromancy movie crowd.April 17, 2005
Seriously creepy bayou noir with more twists than you can shake a chicken bone at.
