Angel
Directed by Robert Vincent O'Neil
Molly Stewart is at the top of her class at the prestigious private high school she attends. But what her classmates and teachers don’t know is that Molly survives by working nights as a prostitute on Hollywood Blvd, in the company of her friends: a worldly transvestite, a retired cowboy movie star, and her cantankerous but kind-hearted landlady. However, her world begins to fall apart when a depraved, necrophiliac serial killer begins targeting LA’s streetwalkers. As more and more women fall victim to this vicious killer, Molly realizes that it’ll be up to her and her friends to take on the maniac before they too find themselves in his murderous sights…. Mixing brutal, slasher styled killing scenes with the sweetness of an afterschool special, Robert Vincent O’Neil’s ANGEL is one of the seminal exploitation films of the early 80s.
A highschooler secretly earns her living as Angel, a sex worker whose only family and friends are the ones she works with on the streets.
Cast: Donna Wilkes, Rory Calhoun, Susan Tyrrell, Cliff Gorman, Dick Shawn

Not bad not good but kept me watching to the end so I'll give it props for that.
It was corny but engaging
It's not a horror film, but I enjoyed it and found myself emotionally invested with the fun characters and their relationships with each other. I also didn't expect to tear up during a few scenes either. I love the interesting blend of slasher, afterschool special and exploitation genre in this.
It's not scary but it is a lot of fun!
not a horror but a great movie!
