⭐ Featured Review

Dark and twisted film that defies explanation
by brchthethird2014-11-14
8/10

"Weird and unnerving are a couple words which accurately describe the experience that is watching this film. What the film means is anyone's guess, and nothing is really spelled out or explained. This actually is a good thing, though, because the viewer can take away from it what they want. The story is about a vagrant named Borgman who insinuates himself into this affluent family's home and slowly makes life a living hell for them. The overall tone of the film is one of unease, mystery and black humor, peppered with a shock every now and then. There are several scenes which may stick..."

💡 Did You Know?

Although never stated in the film, the behavior of Borgman closely resembles that of an "alp", a nightmare demon from German folklore.
