Story Synopsis

Through the footsteps of its lead character, Harry Angel (Mickey Rourke)—a down-and-out 1950s Brooklyn private eye—Alan Parker’s film Angel Heart takes you on a journey of violence and murder that canvasses the forlorn streets of Harlem, smokey jazz clubs of New Orleans and ultimately to voodoo rituals in the sweltering swamps of Louisiana. Adapted from the novel “Falling Angel” by William Hjortsberg, Angel is hired by the mysterious Louis Cyphre (Robert De Niro) to track a missing big band singer—which leads him into the bizarre underworld of the occult. Angel Heart surfaces as one of the most visually haunting American movies that will scare you to your very soul.
