Very Cool!!!
Boring
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
View MoreMostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
View MoreI did not find this movie appealing on any level. Even with horrors or thrillers that are disturbing you still would normally find something you liked about them.Angel is a disturbed young lady who was horrifically abused as a child by her grandmother and grandmothers friends. The abusers wore masks and called the scene of the abuse a 'party'. The characters in this movie are very one-dimensional, unlikable and lack depth or development. The story content is of course very dark but the path the movie takes just continues along on that darkness and doesn't let up. The police and government become involved due to a cover-up whereby Angel shouldn't actually be free. For me personally I did not enjoy the film, I maybe didn't understand what the makers were trying to achieve. To me it's just a film of misery and darkness.
View MoreI enjoyed this Film, a lot, it starts off as a Horror,has elements of a Thriller, and has dark Comedy moments, not something I expected,but very much enjoyed, very well DIRECTED by Ray Burdis, (who clearly has a knack for Horror scenes) as the opening of the film works very well and the night time sequence in the rain stand out as well set up, I don't want to give the plot away, so my review covers more the technical side, acting in my view was good, the shots well crafted, good cinematography, and the MUSIC SCORE by JOHN BECKETT was great, I LOVED the song "ANGEL'S PRAYER" sung by Brooke Burdis, A good British film, that deserves much praise for handling a story of mental abuse and the way the victim deals with it, On my favourite top 10 British made films list, along with DARK CORNERS starring Thora Birch, which is another underrated Horror, Personally I can't wait for RAY to Direct another Horror, with hopefully JOHN BECKETT doing the music score, they are VERY TALENTED as this film shows. 9 out of 10 due to a couple of "minor" technical flaws, (I noticed), but I highly recommend it,
View MoreI liked Angel a lot although it took few viewings to understand all that was going on but that did not minimize the viewing. There is a surreal quality to everything, over-realistic, which made everything more interesting, twisted and gruesome.The title of the original book, Core of Evil, is very fitting as abuse of people as children is investigated both intimately, personally and according to the higher echelons which also are caught up in this. It is a societal and generational issue and therefore to me important subject matter. One thing, the female agent, 'This is what I do.' and then she 's sneaking around in loud heals. Loved the visuals and the characters.
View More8.5 of 10. As you would expect from well-done horror, the true villain gets away and you wind up with a sort of tragic cliff hanger. As you'd expect in cheap horror, there are lots of clowns, but virtually no humor.There's much more to this film than simple horror, a psycho serial killer, police detective, spy, or political drama. Thriller ends up capturing a complex film of government power corruption that's based on a book.Set in the UK, if you don't have it spoiled by a poorly written review or excessive trailer, you also get the pleasure of not knowing what direction the story is going. The actors fit their roles and the sex and action come from unexpected angles. For horror fans and haters alike, the pain and gore aren't forced.As a whole, a highly integrated, never boring story that defies standard film classifications.
