Night Angel
A legendary she-demon, in the updated guise of a beautiful model, infiltrates the offices of a successful fashion magazine with the aim of corrupting the world via mass media.
Why it matters
A sleazy, neon-lit descent into ’90s body horror and media paranoia, where a demonic femme fatale weaponizes beauty and celebrity culture as a vector for corruption.
- Practical effects by KNB bring grotesque transformations that still unsettle decades later.
- A sharp blend of folk horror’s ancient evil with the glossy veneer of late Cold War consumerism.
- For fans of Cronenberg’s body horror and David Cronenberg-adjacent paranoia about media’s influence.
- Equal parts trashy and thoughtful, it’s a cult artifact capturing anxieties about mass media’s seductive power.
