Angel Heart is the brooding, ominous, filmed presentation of the novel 'Falling Angel' by William Hjortsberg.

Directed and screenwritten by Alan Parker (Midnight Express , Pink Floyd's The Wall), the film was largely overlooked and underappreciated upon its release in 1987, but with the passage of time, the fine wine of masterful artistry is sipped anew, and this vintage is sweet and blood red.

It's a rare treat to find actors, cinematographers and score composers displaying their talents with such finesse and subtlety, all with the goal of creating an enduring work of such diabolical suspense and horror

It's the 1950's and the effects of World War II are just beginning to fade when a private investigator named Harry Angel is hired to track down a one-time recording star who has reneged on a contract with a mysterious and eccentric businessman.

Angel delves deep into a web of sinister relationships, satanic influences and horrid deaths only to be trapped himself in the maze of dark secrets.
