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...

It's a good thing that I didn't buy this DVD. I rent it for .50 cents and it is not even worth 50 cents. It is not even worth it being on the shelf or being exist at all. All it is, a pure torture one after another. No plot, no stories, no nothing... I can't believe I waste my time watching this movie all the way through. I was waiting to see what happen at the end like hopefully these dumbbells to be arrested. They dun' goofed up MAJOR times! 420 Times... We get the message. Don't get me wrong. SAW Trilogy is a FAR better movie this this crappy movie. The story behind SAW has points and purpose. This movie.... Ummm. None. I'm not usually put hate in the movie but this one set me off. I have seen a lot of movies and there are some that I don't like and rate as 1 but it wasn't as BAD as this film.

So take my word. DO NOT WATCH/RENT THIS MOVIE!

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!

Borderline Cult (2007) is another one of the notorious Hollywood House of Horror releases helmed by Ulli Lommel. Three sociopaths hang around Topanga Canyon and Juarez Mexico looking for easy prey. What they want or why they murder people remains a mystery? The trio spend their free time documenting their exploits on digital video in between looking for victims. Some of them wander in the area or they go out hunting for them. Who are these killers and why do they do what they do? Do find out why or if you care check out Ulli Lommel's Borderline Cult.

Like the earlier reality horror films from Lommel, they had all kinds of problems with the MPAA over content. This one is no exception. Many of the murders were heavily edited to get an R- rating. I've always wonder why he even bothers to try and get his films rated. Do they actually play in theaters?
