Ángel Negro ("Dark Angel") is a 2000 Chilean slasher film written and directed by Jorge Olguín. Ángel Negro is the first Chilean horror film. After a mysterious accident, a group of friends is hunted down by a masked killer.
Plot
The film depicts the story of Gabriel Echeverría, who, years after graduating from high school with his group of friends, learns that his former classmate Rafael has been brutally murdered. His widow is Gabriel's old friend Carolina Ferrer, whose husband Miguel was also recently killed. Gabriel begins having visions of his ex-girlfriend Ángel, who died ten years earlier at Piedra Feliz, a cliff infamous for the numerous suicides that have occurred there. Gabriel fears that the murders are connected to Ángel's death and that Carolina and Lorena, another one of his friends, could be the next targets. Gabriel discloses to Carolina the truth about his relationship with Ángel and shows her footage of Miguel raping Ángel after she discovered that he was only with her as part of a bet.

Production
Director Jorge Olguín wanted to make a homage to his favorite filmmakers, John Carpenter and Dario Argento. He decided to use all the standard giallo and slasher film tropes and cliches but with a unique Latin American flavor.
