Synopsis

A down-and-out Brooklyn detective is hired to track down a singer on an odyssey that will take him through the desperate streets of Harlem, the smoke-filled jazz clubs of New Orleans, and the swamps of Louisiana and its seedy underworld of voodoo.

The Fear Score take

A slow descent disguised as a detective story, Angel Heart tightens its grip through humidity, ritual, and a mounting sense that the ground beneath you is rotting. The dread here is existential — a creeping certainty that something is wrong, and that you already know what it is. It gets under your skin and stays there.
