Besides its dark and mysterious storyline, ANGEL HEART was mostly known for its controversial nude and sex scenes with Lisa Bonet. You will remember that Miss Bonet played Bill Cosby's daughter in his sitcom and was depicted as a wholesome young teenager. Whether or not it advanced her career, her decision to play the role of Epiphany Proudfoot would forever change her image.
This article from SIGHT AND SOUND (November 2019) reviews the DVD release of ANGEL HEART and reminds us of its place in the long history of Satanic Cinema.
I saw a lot of Angel Heart because I was working as an usher at a movie theater where it played. I thought it was pretty good at the time but I doubt I'd like it now.
