Borderline Cult

BORDERLINE CULT opens with two drunk women staggering around. We learn that one of them is part of a trio of murdering maniacs. The non-crazy woman is tortured and killed by a bald man in Drew Carey's old glasses. There's also a voodoo dude in a top hat.

Another female is lured to her doom.

Then, a tarot card reading by a woman with a sprayed-on tan, more mindless murder, etc.

This is a totally nonsensical movie of "rinse and repeat" slaughter. Three weirdoes and the women they annihilate. It's lazy filmmaking at its most idiotic, with any semblance of a plot discarded in favor of one dumb scene of violence after another.

Roll credits...

Borderline Cult (2007)

* 1/2 (out of 4)

There's no doubt that the career of director Ulli Lommel went downhill after his hit THE BOOGEY MAN, which has become a cult favorite over the years. Lommel's career has it rock bottom the past several years as he's started making movies that base themselves around real murder cases. BTK KILLER, GREEN RIVER KILLER and ZODIAC KILLER are just a few of these real killer movies from Lommel and all of them have ranged from horrid to poor. This film here deals with three serial killers who lure women out to the desert on the Mexico border and kills them. This is actually a small step up for the director who at least shows some technical qualities here. The performances are also better than you'd expect but the end results are still pretty poor. The film goes on way too long and we basically see the same thing over and over. A woman lures other women to the desert and then they're killed. There's a little gore, no nudity and certainly no suspense.

In circumstances like this, I wouldn't even use the DVD case of this film to level out the legs on my couch. There are more problems with this movie than I count.

Considering that it is based on a true story even makes it worse. Yes there are over 400+ murders in Cuidad Juarez just below El Paso Texas in Mexico. However, it is not the same person, and the ages of the victims range from 11-36. Real woman who were raped and murdered. Not just tortured. Those are real women who died brutally. To Blasphamy their lives and deaths making a worthless grotesque depiction of it with this film is just an atrocity.

The acting is absolutely terrible, the directing is pure garbage, (looks like it was shot with a home video) and the dialog, what little of it their was, was like a 3rd grader wrote it.

This was a pure example of a film being made, just to pull undeserved cash from your wallet.

Do yourselves a favor and do not watch this film. I wish there was a zero on the vote scale because I gave it too much credit giving it a one.

absolute crap!

Three sociopaths, two men and woman, form a serial-killing team in northern Mexico. The woman lures young women to their remote country digs that includes the graves of their former victims, one of the men kills them, and the other guy digs their graves.

As plots go, that about sums it up.

As a profile of a serial killer, this movie fails. It also fails as psychological suspense, or even as slash-and-gore "horror". We don't even get a chance to feel for any of the victims, they're never with us long enough to care about them.

If you like characters with no apparent motivation and a complete lack of depth, you might enjoy this movie. If you like amateurish photography or a grainy, washed out appearance, you might find something here. If soundtracks that lean heavily toward the incessant droning of flies appeal to you, this could be a real keeper.

Otherwise, just be thankful it is only 81 minutes long...if you can stand it for that long. Not worth the disk it's burned on.

I immediately destroyed the DVD as soon as it ended. Bad. So bad. I can't believe how bad it was. Really, really bad. I honestly would have rather been at work. Plot...bad Acting...bad Story...bad No Boobs...Very Very bad Only symbolism: the credits at the end moved as slowly as the film. The guy who gave the movie a 7/10 is retarded. The end. IMDb has too many guidelines to post a comment. I just want to say how bad I hate this movie but it says I need more lines. So now, I'm typing randomly. I'm angry. And tired. I want to go to bed. But this movie is so bad that I have to keep typing. It's principle. My night is ruined. If I had a wife, I would make angry love to her. But I don't :(. this movie is bad, bad bad. Screw you IMDb. Here's 10 lines for you. Bad.
