Too little of "El Angel" escapes a second-hand, been-there, killed-that feeling. January 10, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The full story has been sacrificed in the service of maintaining the balance between horror and fascination. And Ferro really has created a fascinating screen character. December 5, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

The movie is made with skill, but it's so relentless in backing away from any psychologizing or moralizing - or just about anything else that might give us a handle on what makes this monster tick - that it finally feels like an empty horror show. November 13, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Ortega has a real eye for flashy, chaotic set pieces and a real ear for excellent Latin rock needle drops on the film's killer Scorsese-inspired soundtrack. November 13, 2018 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

It's a hell of a story-spruced up and splashed on a big, colorful screen-with a lot to show but little to say. November 9, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Though it suffers from a bit of a self-indulgent runtime, it's inherently a highly engaging portrait of a young man entirely devoid of a conscious and the people who enable his grizzly escapades. May 29, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The filmmakers tell their story at a fast clip, making good use of classic '70s rock and psychedelia to maintain a relentless vibe. March 26, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
