Angel, Angel, Down We Go, also known as Cult of the Damned, is a 1969 American film directed by playwright and screenwriter Robert Thom, his sole directorial credit. Thom based his screenplay on an unproduced stage play of the same title that he had written several years earlier as a vehicle for his wife, actress Janice Rule. The film was produced by Sam Katzman's Four Leaf Productions and distributed by American International Pictures.
Robert Thom wrote the notoriously outrageous Wild In The Streets, so I was interested to see what turned out to be his only directorial credit - and I did not come away disappointed! Essentially, the plot is old Hollywood crossing paths with a long-haired, skydivin', psychedelic-rockin' death-cult led by a VERY amateur Jim Morrison-type via spoiled bratty rich overweight teenage girl. Has to be seen to be believed.
