Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

srknightjohn One of the best films I've ever seen. The film takes inspiration from some of the world's most macabre psycho murders cases and combines it with an A class script. The results is a cinema masterpiece that you don't see very often. The acting is stunning. It is very interesting and enjoyable to see the sickening mind of a demented serial killer brought to life with such a life like performance. Donna Wilkes, being one of the actors I've never heard of before, delivers one of the most touching performances I've ever seen. It is a very dark film and that is a good thing. I love films that takes its root from reality showing everything as they would in real life with all its tragedies instead of trying to create a cliché happy ending. The film is brutally honest, and that's a good thing. Everything is perfect about this film. I'm glad I've come across it. I wish every film I see is of this caliber. After watching this, I realized this is part of a trilogy. I can't wait to see the rest.

TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews If anyone is at all unclear, this is an exploitation flick. As such, it goes where Hollywood tends not to dare, and there is bloody and gruesome(if somewhat vague) violence, as well as nudity(though relatively little). There is also plenty of strong language. It speaks to the lowest common denominator, it provokes, and, worth noting, it actually treats a taboo subject without really oversimplifying or downplaying it. I honestly haven't watched enough of the sub-genre to determine if that last bit is common practice, but I can imagine that it isn't. In fact, I have to wonder if this doesn't stand out from the rest of them, since I was frankly surprised that this had as much of a conscience as it did. We follow Molly, an honor student in high school, who is a prostitute at night. The contrast between these aspects of her situation is well-done, and while the concept does require a moderate amount of suspension of disbelief, both "worlds" are treated to a credible portrayal. This has a decent enough plot, and the progression is fine. The pacing is good, this doesn't lose your interest for the 90 minute running time. Humor is somewhat hit and miss. With that said, this never tries too hard to get a laugh. The character gallery is colorful and memorable, including a former double for the cowboy lead for Westerns and shares tales of the stars he met and worked with during his career and a charming and sweet man who makes a living from tips, for performing yo-yo tricks on the street. Acting varies, Wilkes does pretty well, and has you believing in the role. The music isn't bad. I would call this a thriller before an action movie, since there is so not that much of the latter. Don't get me wrong, however, what there is is entertaining enough. I recommend this to anyone who thinks they might enjoy it. 6/10

Scarecrow-88 Teenage prostitute, Angel(Donna Wilkes), working the streets of Hollywood, becomes the target of a serial killer whose slicing and dicing her friends. Angel(..who must also contend with concealing the truth regarding how her mom and dad left her for their own endeavors) becomes a prominent figure in capturing the psychopath while detective Lt Andrews(Cliff Gorman)begins to investigate her.Despite provocative subject matter(..both the idea that a 15 year old hooking to pay for private school funding and apartment fee since she has no parents and a psycho necrophiliac who bangs the prostitutes after murdering them)director Robert Vincent O'Neill and writer Joseph Michael Cala remain cautious in how they tell the story of a teenager using her body as a tool to pay for what she needs. They don't fail to acknowledge the environment itself(..but, to be honest, ANGEL isn't as tough and gritty as VICE SQUAD dealing with similar themes)filling their film with lots of "street color", folks like Rory Calhoun's folksy cowboy Hollywood relic, Dick Shawn's pleasant, genial transvestite(..who is Angel's confident), and Susan Tyrrell's(..over-the-top) spiky-haired, really loud, cantankerous tenant(..who rents to Angel). Gorman isn't too shabby as Angel's developing friend, who wishes to help her get out of the current morass she finds herself. The film doesn't pass judgment on the characters, and the filmmakers take great strides in displaying care and sympathy for Angel's plight. Despite a lurid synopsis, it's obvious the filmmakers couldn't express explicit sexual details of a miner with her johns. Although, the film has nudity(..plenty of exposed breasts)and rampant profanity, this is far less risqué than you might think judging by it's setting and focus on a depressing life-style. The film also links her current night life with the other world(..normal school surroundings) she inhibits as her frequent defiance to bed the jerk jock comes back to haunt her when he and his goons drive the Boulevard looking for sexual kicks.It's up to each individual viewer whether or not you accept the idea that Angel could remain so adorable, clean, and innocent, surviving so well in such an environment where your body is used so regularly with all kinds of men. And, the fact that she could achieve high grades at her school, while keeping authoritative figures in the dark regarding her parents, is a bit of a stretch, but I guess it's possible. At times, ANGEL feels like an after-school special, particularly in how the score is used, but it has a gnarly climax as Angel chases after the killer(..disguised as a Hare Krishna!)packing a gun while Andrews and Calhoun's Kit Carson follow in pursuit to save her from herself. Again, the backdrop of Hollywood Boulevard is effectively used as the story unfolds. Diehl's killer is often an after-thought as the film often focuses more on Angel's drama.

windypoplar The best movie ever! OK, so its not. But trust me if your'e looking for exploitation fare at its best, this is it. I'm talking teenage prostitution, guns, the sunset strip in all its decadent glory, drag-queens, dykes, nerds, high school pressure! This movie has it all! This isn't Shakespeare, it is what it is. The use of La is fantastic, the soundtrack is great. Director Andrew Davis ( the Fugitive) worked on the photography. Donna Wilkes (where have you gone Donna?), is simply so precious, so innocently sexy, she takes your'e breath away. Rory Calhoun, matinée idol in the '50s, is totally whacked out here, he's surreal as Kit Carson(!) Cliff Gorman does a great job as the cop whose seen too many young kids sucked into the sewer of LA, he should have gotten better parts after this. Dick Shawn, who I never really liked, is just great here, a totally sympathetic drag-queen! WOW! Susan Tyrell is awesome as always,s he repulses and fascinates in the same frame.Angel is the type of late-night viewing that really sticks with you. The plot is complicated by a serial killer, well-played by John Diehl, and you really feel the tension build. Note the small performances in Angel, the guy who plays the street performer was in love with one of the murdered prostitutes, notice his face when he learns of her brutal death. Terrific.Angel is well worth your trouble, sure it reaches out to the slimy pervert in all of us, but it makes you think at the same time. Is it ever worth it? To damage one person so severely just to get off? Terrific movie.
