No, and I mean NO scary movie has ever scared me. Not even as a kid. In fact, when I was a kid, a "scary movie" was often correlated with thr expectation there might be 2.37 seconds of boooobs. The two that scared me, as you say, chills, butterflies, and a brief hiccup in my heartbeat was this scene, and The Shining, when the butler warns Jack that the "cook, a *****r cook" is on his way. THAT is when the question of whether it was benign (relatively) paranormal activity, or Demonic in nature was resolutely and frighteningly clarified.
Long fingernails are not enough! But what about those eyes: how would one fake that? (I have not seen the movie. It looks good - for a movie. Scary though. Dunno if I'd want to see it. I want Mr. Angel to stick to his guns, though.)
When this movie came out - all you heard about was Lisa Bonet and how she was in trouble with the Cosby Show over the sex scene. It is a real shame that all the emphasis was on that rather than the awesome movie that it is.
" For twelve years you've been living on borrowed time and another man's memories." What a horrifying revelation. Not only are you not the person you thought you were but your eternal soul is damned and the electric chair is waiting for you. Mickey deserves a hell of a lot of credit for this role. He is so exasperated and emotionally spent in this scene. This movie along with Barfly and The Wrestler are his trifecta of great movies.
Have just rewatched a couple days ago…absolutely, even the way he runs his body is at its limit as well as his mind, this is daniel day Lewis/Joaquin phoenix type of acting man Mikey Rourke was a force of nature
Indeed. There is something just so confident and smooth the way he carries himself in his earlier movies. Brad Pitt couldn't even light up the screen in those roles as much.
De Niro was magnificent, but Rourke was mesmerizing! This film is a classic. To this day, I re-visit the film and watched it countless times since my first watch. It's such an addictive film for me.
the same I come back regularly to this masterpiece since I saw it, the occultist themes and voodoo, the incredible music, the atmosphere of the 50s and the excellent acting of Mickey and DeNiro still fascinate me as much
DeNiro was better, but you were expecting it from him from the former masterpieces. Rourke was surprisingly brilliant. Master acting from both, I agree. Best Rourke role.
Such fantastic acting from the both of them. You can tell Bobby Deniro is having the time of his life playing this character. Mickey Rourkes screams terrify me all these years later. A boss film!
I love De Niro's performance of Lucifer here. Except when he gets vaguely amused by Harry's breakdown, he wears a look of subdued contempt and hatred. He never, ever overdoes it though, even during the "big reveal." Just masterclass.
RIP Alan, this is probably the greatest noir detective horror film ever made the Blade runner of its day....perfect in every way..acting scripting cinematography, and the music is haunting....Perfection Alan.
De Niro was different as the Devil, I like it too. Like in some movies they try a little hard on the evil incarnation aspect. Here he doesn't have to try anything, he knows the truth and god he enjoys it.
This scene hit me harder than it should. Hearing him cry "I know who I am" resonates with someone like me who's been suffering a severe concussion that led to memory problems and identify crisis. Many say that embracing cinema with heavy subject matter is unhealthy, but as a person that never had a resolution from that incident long ago, help me feel happy that art shows these various walks of life this constant struggle, regardless of exaggeration. This is the very reason why Angel Heart is one of my favorite films among many that I experienced.
I was floored by the ending. Didn't see it coming at all. The Desolate screams from Angel after he makes his discovery. You can feel his anguish. Tremendous acting by Rourke.
His shouts while looking in the mirror are possibly one of the finest pieces of screen acting in cinema. Great emotions from Mickey. I'm stunned none of his 80's movies were commercially successful. It's a reflection of what the movie going public consider to be a good movie. Shame.
One of Mickey Rourke's best performances, it's up there with The Wrestler. Just the agony he has in his voice when he chokes out "I know who I am!" gives me chills. Definitely Oscar nomination worthy for sure.
@adomo gang37 agree. Love the movie, and I think Rourke was and is a great actor, and this is his best role arguably. But those glowing eyes are too cheesy for this movie:, some kind of cheap effect, and when the baby has glowing eyes that too is idiotic. But maybe de niro didn’t have enough range to just do it with his eyes.
"Do you think posing as the devil, just because it scared a superstitious old guitar player, and that witch, and that nutty old man, do you think it's going to scare me? It ain't, because I know who I am. You killed them, and you're trying to pin it on me. I know who I am."
Mickey Rourke was something else. He had all the coolness, beauty and charisma of a Burt Reynolds or James Dean but also all the emotional reservoir of an Al Pacino to Robert De Niro
The greatest movie ever mad..... the interaction between the two characters and actors make this movie so special, also the casting..... amazing play!!!!!!!
Angel Heart along with the Jacob's Ladder always will be most true horror movies ever made. They got what today thrillers lacking - harsh, plastic-free image of Cold War city. This 20th century environment seems utterly severe and hostile to sissy millenial as i am. I probably wouldn't survive then.
you need to grow a pair and endure toughness... btw this movied inspired the best horror game ever..silent hill. you must play silent hill 1 to 4, works of art
Mickey Rourke produced the finest performance I can remember in Angel Heart. You couldn’t take your eyes off him for a second, even alongside De Niro. Nobody since has achieved this kind of brilliance in my opinion.
100% probably one of the best performances in the world; and I'd say the best in H-wood: no one has conveyed human tragedy, anguish, despair so well and with so much depth
He cried out the same way Luke Skywalker did when he found out that Darth Vader was his father. "No, that can't be true, that's impossible!!!!" Mickey Rourke was so great in here. When he kept saying "I know who I am, I know who I am." Just amazing acting by both Rourke and Deniro.
Mickey Rourke is a forgotten legend. One of the best actors ever. Shame about his career in the 90s and his comeback after The Wrestler didn’t last long. He deserves more recognition.
I don't understand why this movie wasn't nominated by the Academy especially for these categories: Best Actor (Mickey Rourke), Best Supporting Actor (Robert DeNiro), Best Supporting Actress (Lisa Bonet), Best Film Editing, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Screenplay.
“Alas, how terrible is wisdom when it brings no profit to the man that's wise! This I knew well, but had forgotten it, else I would not have come here.” ― Sophocles, Oedipus Rex
I remember seeing this in the theaters and the murmur that went through the crowd when he finally saw his names on the dog tags. Not only that, Louis Cyphre's eyes made my heart skip a beat when he points at Johnny. I couldn't even tell you how many times I've seen this movie.
De Niro portrayed the monster of Frankenstein in the eponymous film directed by Branagh, if it can be of any consolation. I'm very much content with Oldman's Dracula myself.
Considering Mickey Rourke had had enough of acting by this time and was on the verge of quitting, (he only took the role after the director Alan Parker asked him and he needed the money not to lose his home) his acting is Oscar Worthy. His pain and anguish is etched on his face; this scene ('Who was the boy?') and the ending ('I know who I am') send shivers down my spine every time.
".... the flesh is weak Johnny, only the soul is immortal... and yours belongs TO ME!!!" Damn that was a chilling scene. DeNiro played the hell out of Louis Cypher!
Good movie. I was really surprised to find (from the special features interview) that Mickey Rourke didn't think much of the movie or his own performance. I couldn't disagree more.
i remember watching this movie as a kid from looong distance and being scared with just how de niro looks.. i am glad it is now one of my favorite movies.
Oscar nominations should have gone to Rourke as lead and De Niro in supporting. Mickey never came close to this performance, the greatest of his career. De Niro gives an acting masterclass in how not to overact. This movie is sadly forgotten. Deserves to be hailed as one of the greatest of mystery thrillers.
I know this movie came out in 1987 but the way it is shot and made, if I did not know the year I could've sworn this movie came out between 1995 and 1999. Incredible movie.
Deniro's quite a distinctive looking man yet he is one of those actors who really looks or appears totally different from film to film! I loved him as Capone that was his best performance he really was Capone!
"But how the world turns! One day, cock of the walk -- next, a feather duster!" Unfortunately, Rourke to a large extent squandered the good luck he'd been given. He was starting to develop a reputation in Hollywood for being difficult and unreliable -- and when he decided that he wanted to become a professional boxer, he turned out to have a "glass jaw" and the plastic surgery he needed to repair his face ruined his looks. Rourke's story was hardly the worst one to come out of Hollywood but there's no denying that it was to some extent a case study in poor judgment.
I've seen exactly 3 movies with Rourke. Barfly, Angel Heart and the Wrestler. Seems i got the best out of his career. In these movies he was excellent.
@@OreadNYCRoark was nearly 40 when he did the boxing thing. I bet his jaw was a lot stronger when he was 20. He should have boxed then, especially when you consider that he doesn't have his first acting credit until he is 28 years old. What was he doing in his 20's?
The only thing that was missing from this scene that would have took it over the top was if Louis gave him a mental flashback of him as Johhny performing the ritual on helpless Harry just to remind him of what he he did.

The Wrestler came close.
Facts man facts.
Totally agree about this movie!
ANGEL HEART is one of my favorites all times combined!
100%
Rourke deserved 2 oscars for this movie
"However cleverly you sneak up on a mirror, your reflection always looks you straight in the eye".
Good one.
"Most men, when faced with their true self, run away screaming", the never-ending story.
one of the strongest quotes. so true..
"If I had cloven hooves and a pointed tail, would you be more convinced?" Epic!
Long fingernails are not enough! But what about those eyes: how would one fake that? (I have not seen the movie. It looks good - for a movie. Scary though. Dunno if I'd want to see it. I want Mr. Angel to stick to his guns, though.)

His voice was not as cracked as his very soul.

Subtlety is always more effective, because evil that portrays itself as normal is much more frightening and realistic.
