"I think what is great about horror films is the weakening of boundaries between life and death. the issue of mortality and dying really come to the forefront. fear, anxiety, annihilation, insignificance, dying, all become overblown for 90 minutes, and the normal reality is lost"And that scene, when Bourke meets De Niro, and De Niro peels, and eats, an egg, is one of the scariest I´ve ever seen on screen...,for what it implies, especially when you remember it, after having watched the whole film.
