'Borderline' Review: Ray Nicholson Is Hollywood's New Charming Psycho

Audiences are really enjoying some blood with their comedies these days. The Oscar-winning (and losing) The Substance is as grotesque as it is absurdly funny; the Valentine’s release this year, Heart Eyes, combined a rom-com story with slasher tropes; and one of the best movies of the year so far, Companion, saw scream queen Sophie Thatcher give one of her funniest performances to date while getting covered in blood in the process. Following suit is a title that doesn’t nail its execution quite as well as the likes of The Substance or Companion, but still has some truly funny moments while spinning a rather dark tale (although it never goes too deep to unveil something that repulsive).
