Angel Heart
It will scare you to your very soul.
Directed by Alan Parker
Produced by Winkast Film Productions, Union
A dark, metaphysically dread-soaked noir descent into voodoo, damnation, and the detective's own corrupted soul, where every clue pulls him deeper into a Faustian trap.
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.
