The Borrower

Midnite weekend screenings happen on Friday & Saturday nights (meaning arrive on Friday and/or Saturday night by 11:45pm for seating, the movie starts after midnite)!

Director: John McNaughton Run Time: 92 min. Format: DCP Rating: R Release Year: 1991

Starring: Rae Dawn Chong, Don Gordon, Tom Towles, Antonio Fargas

Just as Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer was slowly finding distribution, John McNaughton was eager for his next project when the script for The Borrower stood out among otherwise uninspiring stories. A playful mix of genres, The Borrower has a remarkable cast of character actors who embody an alien transitioning between human forms, with frequent McNaughton player Tom Towles stealing the show. This is a movie that deserves higher cult status, replete with exploding heads and a demented sense of humor.
