Review of Angel Heart (1987) by Brad G — 30 Oct 2009

â??Iâ??ve got a thing about chickens.â?? From the start the viewer can sense there is something â??wrongâ?? with the movieâ??something dangerous. Highly atmospheric, it seeps with darkness and dirt and vibe that is highly uncomfortable.

I love it. Even when itâ??s mundane it crawls with the heebie-jeebies. Mickey Rourke has never been better than he was as the sweaty P.I. hired by the well-manicured, egg chomping Robert De Niro. Fans of flicks like Rosemaryâ??s Baby and The Ninth Gate would be wise to pick this sick puppy up.

Fans of The Cosby Show should probably stay away (oh that Lisa Bonet). Not VF.
