Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Michael_Elliott Night Angel (1990) ** 1/2 (out of 4)Above average horror film has an evil spirit taking over the body of a beautiful woman (Isa Andersen) who then goes out and uses her sexuality to seduce men and kill them.NIGHT ANGEL doesn't have a very detailed story but it really doesn't have to because it pretty much delivers in every way that you'd expect it to. If you were renting this movie back in the day or seeing it late at night on Cinemax, you'd expect nudity, sex, gore and violence and that's pretty much what the film delivers. Fans of this type of thing will certainly find a lot to enjoy here.I think a lot of the credit has to go towards director Dominique Othenin-Girard who made this right after the somewhat disasterous HALLOWEEN 5. This film here allowed him to experient with his European feel and I thought this added a lot of good style to the picture. The sexuality is certainly a tad bit more erotic than you'd typically see in a horror film like this and there's no question that the director wanted to push this aspect.I also thought the cast was quite good and especially Andersen who plays the sex object. She does a very good job with the performance and she certainly knows how to milk that sexuality to where all of these men would fall for her. Linden Ashby, Debra Feuer, Gary Hudson and Karen Black are all good in their roles as well.Horror fans will be happy with the blood level here as the demon rips out the hearts of her lovers and this leads to some great red stuff. The violence is pretty much what you'd expect from a film like this so all is good on that level. NIGHT ANGEL certainly isn't a masterpiece and it is flawed but at the same time it's a good entertainment.
Scott LeBrun An ancient evil entity named Lilith is reborn and assumes the shape of an incredibly sexy young woman (German-born Isa Jank, "The Wrong Guys"). Lilith proceeds to aggressively contrive her way towards being the cover girl for a fashion magazine called "Siren"; meanwhile, she goes about seducing and destroying various horny and mindless men. A virtuous employee named Craig (Linden Ashby, 'Melrose Place') doesn't like what she does to the office, so he teams up with a savvy old woman (Helen Martin, '227') to vanquish the demon. He also takes the time to romance Kirstie (Debra Feuer, "To Live and Die in L.A."), the sister of his boss Rita (Karen Black, "House of 1000 Corpses")."Night Angel" is acceptable cheese ball fare, no more and no less, yet it does still hit the spot fairly well for anybody who's got a soft spot for this kind of thing. It's got plenty of lovely ladies and sex scenes to keep the audience satisfied, as well as some wonderfully garish makeup FX by Steve Johnson ("Night of the Demons"). It does improve as it goes along, leading to a major set piece of atmosphere and effects; the most memorable bit of business takes place around the 56 minute mark. Dominique Othenin-Girard ("Halloween 5") directs adequately, giving us enough "good" stuff to prevent our minds from wandering too much.The delectable Ms. Jank, most of whose acting credits consist of TV appearances in her native country, does seem to be enjoying this moment in the spotlight. The rest of the cast is passable, if not inspired, although it's nice to see veteran character actress Martin in an actual heroic role. (At first, you think she's just some sort of pest.) Notable creature performer Doug Jones ("The Shape of Water") has his second credited acting role as shameless horndog Ken. Also appearing are Gary Hudson ("Road House"), Sam Hennings ("Seedpeople"), Twink Caplan ("Clueless"), and Phil Fondacaro ("Troll"). Roscoe Lee Browne ("The Cowboys") does the opening narration. Hennings bares enough of a resemblance to Klaus Kinski to be good for some chuckles.All in all, an agreeable watch. It's worth sticking with just to hear that end credits song belted out by none other than Screaming Jay Hawkins!Six out of 10.
Woodyanders Lovely and lethal succubus Lilith (a spot-on smoldering portrayal by gorgeous brunette knockout Isa Jank) poses as the cover girl for a popular fashion magazine as means of seducing and destroying men. It's up to nice guy art director Craig (a solid and likeable performance by Linden Ashby) to stop her. Director Dominique Othenin-Girard relates the original and absorbing story at a brisk pace, ably crafts a strong sensual'n'spooky ooga-booga atmosphere (a descent into a deliriously lust-crazed hell in which a wild anything-goes orgy occurs rates as a definite trippy highlight), and delivers several startling moments of nasty gore. The clever and inspired script by Joe Augustyn and Walter Josten makes nice use of the fiercely competitive world of fashion modeling. The bang-up cast keeps this movie humming: Debra Feuer adds plenty of winning spark as the sassy Kirstie, Helen Martin contributes a spirited turn as feisty voodoo lady Sadie, Karen Black does her usual fine work as agency head Rita, Doug Jones amuses as geeky horndog Ken, and Gary Hudson jerks it up well as the smarmy Rod. The glossy cinematography by David Lewis provides a striking stylish look. Kudos are also in order for Steve Johnson's marvelously grotesque make-up f/x. An unjustly neglected sleeper.
KGB-Greece-Patras OK - I have to admit it: I love old school 80's & 90's era, electro/disco music and this decadent atmosphere that you CANNOT really find in todays mystery/horror/whatever films (there are exceptions, of course). This one isn't too dumb, really. Compared with lots of silly hollywood 'horror' this one is much much preferable. We even have enough style, music and few gore effects to get things going. And of course, as you have probably understood by now, there's an evil mistress that is trying to rule the world. And then, the final supposedly climactic ending sequence. This is quite an OK viewing, with quite pleasant & amusing characters. No masterpiece, by no means, but should be OK for most horror fans and fans of that particular atmosphere I described above.
