Following publication of the novel, Hjortsberg began developing a screenplay for a film adaptation, but found that no film studio was willing to produce his script.
The project resurfaced in 1985, when producer Elliott Kastner brought the book to Parker's attention.

The independent film studio Carolco Pictures produced" Angel Heart" with a budget of$ 18 million.
Principal photography commenced in March 1986 and concluded in June of that year; filming took place on location in New York and New Orleans.

An unrated version featuring the removed footage was later released on home video.
" Angel Heart" received mixed reviews and underperformed at the North American box office, grossing$ 17 million during its theatrical run.
