Angel Heart

CriticsCritics: 72
AudienceAudience: 7.4

A struggling Brooklyn detective is hired to find a missing singer. His search leads from Harlem into New Orleans and Louisiana’s shadowy underworld, where voodoo, violence, and unsettling clues turn a routine case into a disturbing supernatural mystery.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like brooding detective stories, supernatural dread, and morally murky mysteries, especially films such as Jacob's Ladder; Not for you if you prefer fast pacing or straightforward horror.
