Peter G. (247 KP) rated Angel Heart (1987) in Movies
Jul 11, 2019
It's quite an effective thriller/detective story dripping with genuine dread and its share of disturbing and intricate scenes that will still spook you, even in today's era of CGI trickery.
Rourke really surprises here and you wonder what really happened to his star over the years as he showed real promise as an emerging new talent at the time and showed some glimpses of this greatness in 'The Wrestler' much later on in his career.
Robert De Niro plays only a small but extremely memorable and effective role that will chill you to the bone.

<strong>Hooked</strong>
From the first chapter I was hooked. It's a great mix of mystery and thriller with it touching on the occult slightly. Anne is a new author for me and certainly one I can't wait to read more of.
The relationship dynamics are so well written from the angst of a strained mother daughter to the new troubled work relationships.
Definitely one of recommend.

Two Wrongs
By Mel McGrath
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
In the city of Bristol, young women are dying in mysterious circumstances. The deaths look like suicides – but are they something more sinister?
Honor is terrified that her daughter might be next. But as she looks for clues as to what really happened to the girls, she stumbles upon a link to a dark secret in her own past – one that she’s kept from her daughter.
Now Honor has the chance to avenge her child for the terrible events of years ago.
This was a pretty good read. I had a few moments as this book got home a little to close for me but I just couldn’t stop reading it. My stomach was twisted in parts. I really really felt uncomfortable but isn’t that what a good thriller is supposed to do?

As for the characters, April is the only one I really cared what happened to. Noah’s intentions seemed noble enough, but I had to wonder how it was possible for him to be so completely in the dark after so much had happened, and so much time had passed, giving him time to think about it. (sorry to be vague – trying to remain spoiler free!)
Overall not a bad story, and I didn’t see all of the twists coming. If it had moved along a little more quickly, I think The Beauty of the End would have been a 4 star read for me.
