Angel Heart – Hoopla, Kanopy
This twisted psychological horror noir follows Harry Angel (Mickey Rourke), a private investigator whom Louis Cyphre (Robert De Niro) hires to track down missing musician Johnny Favorite. Harry’s search leads him to New Orleans, where he finds voodoo, murder, love, and a deal with the devil. A slow, simmering, hard-boiled detective tale gives way to shocking, taboo-shattering secrets and reveals that will unsettle you as much as Harry. Speaking of hard-boiled, De Niro’s menacing performance ensures you’ll never look at hard boiled eggs quite the same way again.
