Late Nite Grindhouse Presents ‘ANGEL’ at Marcus Des Peres 14 Cine on June 16 & 17

Returning to our regularly scheduled program, we begin our Summer section with a film that has more than meets the eye with 1984’s Angel! The poster makes you believe you’re about to get a Cinemax film, and the tagline doesn’t dissuade you from such either, but there’s a creepy serial killer that is picking off characters one by one. Featuring some great performances by Rory Calhoun (Motel Hell) and the incomparable Susan Tyrell (Forbidden Zone, Butcher Baker Nightmare Maker).

This is one you won’t want to miss.

SYNOPSIS

Molly Stewart (Donna Wilkes, JAWS 2) is at the top of her class at a prestigious private high school. But what her classmates and teachers don’t know is that Molly survives by working nights as a prostitute on Hollywood Blvd, in the company of her friends: a worldly transvestite, a retired cowboy movie star, and her cantankerous but kind-hearted landlady. However, her world begins to fall apart when a depraved, necrophiliac serial killer begins targeting LA’s streetwalkers. Mixing slasher-styled killing with the sweetness of an Afterschool Special — plus roles from Susan Tyrrell (CRY BABY) and Rory Calhoun (MOTEL HELL) — ANGEL is one of the seminal exploitation films of the early 1980s. Newly restored in 4K!
