It will scare you to your very soul.
In the gripping neo-noir film "Angel Heart," Mickey Rourke portrays the protagonist, Harry Angel, a once-renowned private investigator who has since fallen on hard times. Now residing in Brooklyn, Angel is a shadow of his former self, struggling to make ends meet in a world that has seemingly left him behind. However, an opportunity arises when he is approached by the enigmatic Louis Cyphre, played by the legendary Robert De Niro. Cyphre, a man of considerable wealth and influence, hires Angel to track down a missing person: a singer who has vanished without a trace.
Angel's investigation takes him on a thrilling journey that begins in the gritty, unforgiving streets of Harlem. Here, he navigates a world of crime and desperation, where survival is a daily struggle. His search then leads him to the smoky, sultry jazz clubs of New Orleans, where the air is thick with the sound of brass and the scent of bourbon. It is in this city that Angel begins to uncover the truth about the missing singer, a truth that is as dark and twisted as the city's narrow alleyways.
The final leg of Angel's odyssey takes him deep into the swamps of Louisiana, a place where the line between reality and superstition is blurred. Here, he delves into the seedy underworld of voodoo, a world of hexes and curses, of rituals and sacrifices. As Angel draws closer to his quarry, he becomes increasingly entangled in a web of deceit and danger. The truth, when it is finally revealed, is more terrifying than he could have ever imagined, and it will change his life forever.
