Production

Special effects

Special effects artist Steve Johnson contributed some of the film's effects—including a chest appliance through which Lilith plunges her hand, and a prosthetic arm for Lilith through which veins are visible—before leaving the production to work on the 1989 film The Abyss.^[3] The remainder of the effects were provided by Robert Kurtzman, Greg Nicotero, and Howard Berger, of KNB EFX Group.^[3]

Reception

Gary Thompson of Philadelphia Daily News called it "a cheapie horror movie", writing that, "The only scary aspects of Night Angel are the images it invites you to conjure of similar behavior in your own office."^[4] In The Psychotronic Video Guide to Film, Michael J. Weldon wrote that, "A lot of things about this movie are painfully dumb, but it's still one of the best recent erotic horror movies, and many of the scenes and effects are excellent and surprising."^[5]
