Gruesome Magazine is partnering with the WICKED HORROR TV CHANNEL (https://wickedhorrortv.com/) which now includes video episodes of Decades of Horror 1980s and is available on Roku, AppleTV, Amazon FireTV, AndroidTV, and its online website across all OTT platforms, as well as mobile, tablet, and desktop.

Synopsis: High-schooler Molly secretly earns her living as Angel, a street prostitute whose only family and friends are the ones she works with on the streets. She must survive against a serial killer who is targeting people of her profession.

Is Angel (1983) a horror film or not? A serial killer who practices necrophilia and cuts the bodies of his victims into pieces? Jeff doesn’t really care as long as it has Rory Calhoun in the cast. The Grue-Crew are divided on this one, especially Chad (actually, Chad is pretty certain), but they all agree the strength of the movie is its cast. Susan Tyrrell and Dick Shawn steal every scene they’re in, and Rory plays an actor from B-movie westerns like the actor from B-movie westerns he is. Cliff Gorman is the earnest and compassionate detective who completes the caring group of friends acting as Molly/Angel’s (Donna Wilkes) family. Angel is a quirky one, but three-fourths of the Grue-Crew enjoyed the film. However, the three sequels might be a different story.

At the time of this writing, Angel (1983) is available to stream from PlutoTV, Plex, Vudu/Fandango, Night Flight, and Troma Now. It’s also available on physical media as a Blu-ray formatted disc from Vinegar Syndrome, 

Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode’s film, chosen by Bill, will be Dario Argento’s Inferno (1980), the second film in his Three Mothers Trilogy. Italian horror? Yay!
