Thriller. Mystery Borgman's arrival in the tree-lined avenues of an exclusive residential area is the beginning of a series of unsettling events around the carefully constructed facade of a wealthy couple, their three children and their nanny.

	Media	Author	Review
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"While the film ultimately is not as satisfying as it promises to be for much of the duration, it remains bracingly creepy and off-kilter. Performances are solid"
		Guy Lodge Variety	"A sly, insidious and intermittently hilarious domestic thriller"
		Kyle Smith New York Post	"A sickening horror parable disguised as a comedy of mores, the Netherlands' "Borgman" is a rarity: a genuinely shocking, upsetting movie (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"
		Dave Calhoun Time Out	"'Borgman' is always curious and imaginative, and occasionally funny (...) A loopy, lopsided experiment (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"
		Stephen Holden The New York Times	"The story's magic is black, its perfidy driven by evil spirits."
