Angel Heart blends neo-noir and psychological horror in a haunting 1987 cinematic journey

What narrative element in Angel Heart distinguishes it as a neo-noir psychological horror film rather than a straightforward detective story?

The film is set entirely in New York City focusing only on a missing person case. The story is a lighthearted comedy about a private investigator's daily life. The protagonist's investigation leads to supernatural and psychological horror elements intertwined with crime.
