Dark comedy is one of my favorite genres. And everything about the premise of Borderline makes it seem like something I should love. But I found almost no enjoyment or entertainment from watching it.
The mix of horror (barely) and comedy just doesn't work. The tone feels off. Nearly every comedic attempt falls flat (except for one involving practicing for an audition lol).
Idiotic character decisions are common in these types of movies. But here, it's not so much the decisions being idiotic as it is the script just not making sense. There are multiple parts where I thought I missed something, rewatched the previous scene, and realized I wasn't missing anything, the movie is just dumb.
I really hope Samara Weaving can start getting some major theatrical roles. She's too good for this garbage.
