The Angel Was a Devil

1976 · 90 min

A scrappy, unsettling stalker chase through grimy locales, with amateurish edges that make the menace feel oddly real.

Directed by
Moshe Guez
Genres
Horror, Thriller
Overview
Psychological thriller of a young woman fleeing a murderer. This movie supposedly took five years to complete, was yanked from theaters after less than a week and, to some, is considered the worst Israeli movie ever made. It also became the focal point of Avida Livny's 2011 documentary Looking for Moshe Guez.
