On the horror and exploitation cinema celebration website Kindertrauma, unkle lancifer reminisces about heading out to the pictures with a group of friends to see Angel on opening night in 1984: 

“I’m sure teenagers still pack into cars on Friday nights and hit their neighbourhood movie houses but certainly gone are the days in which they can witness, on the big screen, a fresh slice of exploitation concerning a peer who is a high school honor student by day and a Hollywood hooker by night.”
