The crown jewel of sophisticated erotica, filmmaker Cecil Howard's COMMAND CINEMA presents lavish Blu-ray and 4K UHD editions of Howard's own masterworks, alongside those he produced with other hardcore auteurs such as Chuck Vinecent, Roberta Findlay, and Armand Weston.
International rock sensation Lola Rain has long hidden her dark personal life of substance abuse and cheap sex. As this downward spiral threatens to overcome her success, Lola's husband/manager Luke Frame becomes exceedingly concerned about his own reputation. He thus hatches a plan for her to "accidentally" overdose, rationalizing that her death will cause him less bad press than poor reception to her concerts. Following her demise, Luke is wracked with guilt, for committing the murder and for having gotten away with it. Plagued by nightmares and isolated by his crime, Luke's descent begins to mirror that of Lola, and threatens his sanity. But Luke is suddenly revitalized by the arrival of a mysterious young hitchhiker named Terry. Hoping that Terry will be the key to his redemption, he also fears that Terry could be the reincarnation of Lola seeking vengeance. A gripping, lovesick ghost story, Cecil Howard’s final theatrical feature film STAR ANGEL is an intensely personal meditation on fame and guilt. Starring Jerry Butler (Raw Talent), Colleen Brennan (aka Sharon Kelly; Taboo III), Chelsea Manchester (aka Tigr; Scoundrels) along with the film's namesake, the incomparably beautiful Angel (Too Naughty to Say No) as Terry. Adapted from a delicately crafted screenplay by Howard’s long-time writing collaborator, Anne Randall (Firestorm) along with prolific journalist R. Allen Leider (Liquid Assets), Command Cinema is proud to present the Blu-ray debut of this dually haunting and heartfelt hardcore classic, newly restored from its best surviving film elements.

Reviews
Beautiful
"Beautiful visuals in this Cecil Howard movie. Command cinema always delivers fine adult stuff."
— Mathias S. (4/5)
Come On Marco
"Another trademark Cecil Howard psychodrama that proves once again that Jerry Butler is the king of tortured souls in adult. He's exceptional as a music agent tortured by the death of his troubled rock star wife (which he largely caused) as is ably supported by Colleen Brennan (although her role is underwritten). But I don't see the movie at the level of "Snake Eyes," for two reasons. It needed a longer running time to develop the characters more and the scenes with Ron Jeremy and Taija Rae, while funny on their own thanks to her, come completely out of left field and disrupt the flow of the main story."
— Jim S. (4/5)
Fame as Haunting: Star Angel and the Price of Reinvention
"Star Angel sits in that unusual space where 80s adult cinema slips into psychological melodrama, with a filmmaker clearly more interested in mood and decay than genre expectation. A rock star is murdered by her husband-manager, who stages it as suicide and turns the fallout into a career boost, only to find himself slowly unraveling under guilt, hallucination, and emotional rot. What holds it together is less plot than atmosphere and presentation, with a mournful tone that gives the material a strange, lingering weight. There’s a sense of art trying to push through the exploitation framing, especially in how it treats obsession and success as forms of haunting rather than triumph. Uneven and undercooked in places, but compelling in how it refuses to let the emotional damage sit quietly in the background."
— Mitchell C. (5/5)
Featuring Angel, one of the
"Featuring Angel, one of the most beautiful adult stars of the 80s, this is a five star release. Great direction, great restoration, and nice extras! Last but not least, an above average plot for an 80's flick. Hopefully, we will see more titles with Angel!"
— Darren S. (5/5)

Cecil Howard never disappoints
"Another amazing release from Command. While not my favorite of Cecil Howard’s films, it is still a solid release. Great tormented performance from Jerry Butler and I love Colleen Brennan in anything she’s in. Dig the Van Halen ad in the opening scene."
