Advantages: deeply atmospheric, great acting, scary

Disadvantages: may be too raw for some

Angel Heart is a film about a man who sells his soul to the devil. Mickey Rouke puts in a lifetime-best performance as a gumshoe in 60's Deep South, who is hired by a sinister Robert De Niro (great cameo) to find out some informationn on a young man who died...
This film's great atmosphere, steamy set pieces, celver dialogue and a suprisingly convuluted plot will leave you gasping. This movie is fantastic for hooror fans everywhere, and is personally one of the scariest movies I have seen. There is also a decent plot twist in the movie, for those of you who guessed Sixth Sense's ending and want a more plausible one.
The R1 DVD is just a movie only version, with a small featurette. Look out for the R2 SE in late 2000, it has a commentary and a few featurettes! Source: www.dvd.reviewer.co.uk
