«Borderline» / LuckyChap
What do you do when your most devoted fan breaks into your house in the middle of the night and demands… marriage? This is exactly the situation that awaits Samara Weaving’s character in the film «Borderline», whose trailer has already been released.
The new horror-thriller with comedic overtones shows the downside of fame – the one that pop stars would rather never know. Samara Weaving plays Sofia, a popular singer who has become the target of a psychopathic fan, Derson (Ray Nicholson). The guy decides that his love is so strong that they just have to be together. The only problem is that Sofia doesn’t want it.
But Derson doesn’t take no for an answer. He breaks into her mansion in Los Angeles, determined to have the «perfect wedding». Only this wedding ends in bloodshed. The heroine will not only have to defend her life, but also try to get out of this nightmare. The only person she can count on is her bodyguard Bell (Eric Dane). But will his skills and coolness be enough to withstand the crazed stalker and his inadequate accomplices?
The role of Sofia went to Samara Weaving, an actress whom horror fans know well from the films «The Hide and Seek», «The Nanny» and «Cry 6». It’s not the first time Weaving has been in danger on screen, but this time she’ll have to face a particularly annoying enemy.
The main antagonist is played by Ray Nicholson («Smile 2»), the son of the famous Jack Nicholson. His character, Derson , is not just a maniacal fan, — but a true psychopath, ready to do anything for his «bride». His obsession goes beyond all bounds, turning the story into a bizarre mix of horror, black humor, and terrifying love fantasies.
Another important character is security guard Bell, played by Eric Dane («Euphoria», «Grey’s Anatomy»). This is the same guy who is supposed to protect Sofia, but even he did not expect how dangerous one single fan can be.
The director and screenwriter of «Borderline» is Jimmy Warden, who previously was working on «Bear high» і «Nanny». He has a good understanding of how to combine black humor and violence, so you can expect «Borderline» to be both scary and funny.
The production is being produced by the studio LuckyChap is a company of Margot Robbie and her husband Tom Eckerly, which previously worked on «Barbie», «A promising girl» and «Saltburn». So you can expect a stylish and dynamic movie filled with «on the edge of» humor and tricks.
«Borderline» will be released in theaters on May 1, 2025. If you like movies about stalkers, maniacs, and people who don’t understand the word «or», then this movie is definitely worth watching. Or just come and watch Samara Weaving fight off another psychopath.
