Angelheart
Alan Parker, 1987.
Excellent horror/mystery with Noir influences. Mickey Rourke is tough as private dick, Harry Angel, who is hired to find old-time crooner Johnny Favourite. His employer is Louis Cyphere, played by a Satanically creepy Robert De Niro. There’s a great scene where De Niro consumes an egg in a horrific and very devilish manner. Most of the film follows Rourke around a beautifully shot voodoo-South as he becomes gruesomely embroiled with various sinister characters. His descent into this nightmare is reflected by the progressive destruction of his lovely linen suit.
