Borgman is the central character of this dark, malevolent fable. Is he a dream or a demon, a twisted allegory or an all-too-real embodiment of our fears? Borgman is a sinister arrival in the sealed-off streets of modern suburbia. His presence unleashes a crowing gallery of distortion around the careful façade constructed by an arrogant, comfortable couple, their three children and nanny.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Though it's too enigmatic for its own good and often feels like it's being made up as it goes, the Dutch import "Borgman" holds interest if only to see what might possibly happen next.
– Gary Goldstein,
Los Angeles Times,
19 Jun 2014
fresh:
It's the hypnotic little thriller's disturbing twists that make it such a singular -- and singularly weird -- experience.
– Chris Nashawaty,
Entertainment Weekly,
20 Jun 2014
fresh:
A creepily comical story about an insistent vagrant turned insidious home occupier.
– Peter Howell,
Toronto Star,
3 Jul 2014
rotten:
The black humour and perversity can occasionally startle, but the film takes far too much sadistic delight in punishing these entitled dopes.
– Liam Lacey,
Globe and Mail,
11 Jul 2014
rotten:
What Marina sees in Borgman is one of the countless implausibilities that make the film more annoying than disturbing.
– Mark Feeney,
