He said the script had its origins in an idea he came across while reading about the Marquis de Sade: "that your mind is much bigger than you think, and that here are a lot of rooms you've never been (in) before where there are awful or creepy or nasty things to find." "Borgman" combines elements of medieval supernatural stories
-- one scene has villagers and a priest hunting the evil spirits in a deep, dark forest
-- with a low-key modern approach. Borgman is an ordinary, modern figure who keeps in touch with his cohorts by mobile phone. "I like to show what you call the evil -- or the bad or whatever you want to call it
-- as very normal people," van Warmerdam said. "Not creepy people, not weird walking zombies, but just very normal people you can meet at the supermarket around the corner." And the director said the use of cell phones is a major innovation in his filmmaking. "I remember in my first movie I had a dogma -- no cigarettes, no telephones and no trees. "I hate acting through the phone," he added. "Now on purpose I give them cellphones. Because I hate them I made myself love them."
