White Angel of Death London is shocked by a series of brutal murders of women dressed in all white, which soon gives the unknown creepy maniac the nickname "White Angel". Meanwhile, one of the apartments in the house of Ellen Carter, a writer of criminal fiction, is rented by a friendly and cute dentist Leslie Stickler.
The film "White Angel" was shot in 1994 by a little-known British director Chris Jones, for whom this film was only the second director's work. Incorporating the motifs of such paintings as Hitchcock’s Psycho, De Palma’s Razor and Powell’s Peeping, White Angel catches the viewer with its viscous and eerie atmosphere, mixed with subtle irony and black humor. "White Angel" is a very atypical, even author's film about a maniac, leaving after watching an unpleasant sediment in the soul, because the viewer is given the opportunity to see the confession of the monster, penetrate into his sick consciousness, and Chris Jones chooses a neutral position in assessing his characters, saturating the picture with a gloomy video sequence of the operator John Walker. Of course, the film is not the most ideal and roughness in it a lot, but they will remain behind as soon as the viewer is imbued with the macabre mood of the film.
Peter Firth perfectly played his hero, creating an interesting and unusual image. Harriet Robinson also played the role of Ellen Carter.
Composer Harry Gregson-Williams wrote a very gloomy, leisurely and melancholy soundtrack for the film, further adding to the White Angel macabricity.
To all fans of thrillers and horror films on the subject of being maniacs, I recommend this, unfortunately, not very famous film.
