Angel Puss

About This Movie

Angel Puss is quite the oddball gem from '89. It’s got this wacky vibe, throwing together elements of slapstick and absurdity, which gives it a really unique flavor. The pacing is a bit erratic, but it somehow works, feeding into its off-kilter charm. There's this persistent theme of desire and mischief that runs through it, wrapped in a light-hearted package. Special effects? Well, they definitely lean into the practical side, which is refreshing given the time period. Performances are a mixed bag, but they all seem to revel in the ridiculousness, making it all the more entertaining. It’s not your typical fare, and that’s what makes it stand out in the realm of cult classics.

Angel Puss has had a somewhat limited release history, often overshadowed by more prominent titles from the era. Originally released on VHS, copies can be a bit hard to track down, especially in good condition. There’s a niche but dedicated interest in it among collectors who appreciate its quirky tone and practical effects, making it a curious find for those who enjoy the offbeat side of 80s cinema.
