Angel

About This Movie

Angel (2015) delves into a dark and twisted narrative centered around a woman grappling with her traumatic past. The film creates a chilling atmosphere, punctuated by its raw and unsettling visuals. Its pacing is intentionally uneven, reflecting Angel's fractured psyche as she embarks on her violent path. The practical effects used during her killing spree are both gritty and effective, grounding the horror in a reality that feels uncomfortably close. Performances are compelling, especially the lead, who embodies madness and vulnerability in a way that’s striking. Themes of abuse, trauma, and the question of sanity linger heavily, making it a thought-provoking watch, if you can stomach the brutality of it all.
