Review of Angel Heart

Angel Heart (1987)
7/10
This left a lasting impression
26 August 1999
I saw this movie in the theatre when it was originally released, urged by a fascination with the occult. If nothing else I lost this fascination. The long, low key and beautifully composed build-up towards the climax had me leave the theatre feeling disgusted. Trevor Jones' music was brilliant and a few days after seeing the movie I bought the soundtrack. While the record spun often on the record player, I didn't see the movie again until a few days ago - and the magic hadn't left. Thrilling.

Musically the best part is Lillian Boutté's dramatic rendition of "The Right Key, The Wrong Keyhole". A highlight of the record as well.
