Angel Heart(1987)

Great novel that was written then was made into a movie by William Hjortsberg. Although it was given a 7.3/10 for the film from IMDb it did pretty well. Although I haven't really gotten to far into the novel the screen writer (Alan Parker) did pretty good on following the book.

Reviews that I've read and agreed that was really good points and opinions:

" I was stunned at what this film did to me. An absolutely brilliant display of psychological horror. Alan Parker made the scariest film of the eighties, maybe the scariest film of the second half of the century with this picture."
(Tideprince)

" "Angel Heart" deserves to be considered Alan Parker's masterpiece. The direction is truly amazing, as Parker drives us deeply through a meticulously prepared dark atmosphere, full of allegories and secret hints."  (Jcatnettis)

Plot:

Harry Angel is a private investigator. He is hired by a man who calls himself Louis Cyphre to track down a singer called Johnny Favorite. But the investigation takes an unexpected and somber turn.
