This is probably Alan parkers darkest film though Midnight Express comes pretty close. It deals with an unconventional detectives entanglement in sinister goings on in the deep south. We get the feeling Parker wanted to create an undercurrent of doom and fear which kept you from feeling remotely comfortable with what you're seeing - none of the characters invoke our sympathy, especially Robert De Niro's satan character - only he could make eating a boiled egg full of sinister connotations! Yet again Angel Heart shows the remarkable versatility and intriguing choice of a director who is quite happy, like Lynch, to make films most other directors would shirk at.
