      Throw it over the border.

      From director Ulli Lommel comes Bordorlone Cult a dull look at three crazy people who kill girls by the Mexican border.Ulli Lommel has been criticized for his poor movies he has made over the last few years, this is one of his worst.

      Bordorline Cult has three killers. Melanie lours girls to their spot of killing. Another wears a top hat and scarf,he buries the bodies. The third actually does the killings. He kinda looks like a bald Drew Carrey.Togerther the leave graves all over the border. Its surprising to see with over 400 dead girls they haven't been caught yet.

      Bordorline Cult is a waste of time. Its a poor horror/slasher film that is very dumb and has no suspense. Skip it unless your a die hard Ulli Lommel fan.

      "There's No Way Out! There's No Way Out!!"...

      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...

      Ulli is a very unique film maker who deserves more respect

      Boarderline Cult... Apparently based on one of those true stories made into horror movies that you can't seem to find...BUT...that's not the here nor there.

      It may be a low budget cheesy no real good guy good girl character setting, the main characters are the killers telling the story.

      Ulli is a very talented and unique horror film maker. His vision is one of a kind and he definitely deserves more respect.

      If you are a fan of found footage type of horror or based on true story horror then this is definitely the horror movie for you. I would honestly love to see a remake of this made with some crazy plot twists. It is a great story for horror. A new breed of horror if you will. I definitely recommend it if you are only a true dedicated horror movie fan.

      Not so worth it...

      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!

      Hollywood House of Horror: Borderline Cult

      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?
