Confusion reigns in this sick film about Hollywood decadence. Christopher stars as a leader of a vile rock 'n' roll band (among whose members are McDowall and Rawls) who disrupt the life of a rich family. Christopher seduces 18-year-old Near and her mother, Jones. Later, Jones is taken skydiving and fitted with a faulty parachute; then her husband is found hung from the diving board of the family swimming pool. All of the performers look like they don't know what is going on, and the lousy rock numbers sung by Christopher don't help. Although made before the murder of Sharon Tate, ANGEL, ANGEL DOWN WE GO is disturbingly reminiscent of the Manson cult killings, and the film was released about the same time newspaper headlines were filled with descriptions of those murders. leave a comment
