4 stars (Very Good) Set in 1955, New Orleans, a supernatural thriller about a sullen detective Harry Angel who's hired to find a missing person by a shady client with pointy fingernails. Really creepy and really good. ~GenXGirl

4 stars (Very Good) Seriously creepy cajun voodo black magic action. Brilliantly evocative of 1950's New Orleans. Perfect camera work, superb sound recording. Real nail biting edge-of-the-seat finale. Mickey Rourke, perfectly cast, gives it everything ~Anon
