The black humour and perversity can occasionally startle, but the film takes far too much sadistic delight in punishing these entitled dopes.

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.
