Samara Weaving’s firmly cemented herself as a genre icon. Thanks to The Babysitter, Ready or Not and then some, she’s become one of the most trusted and exciting artists in horror. When her name popped up on yet another genre movie roster, it instantly became a highly anticipated production, and Weaving made due on that hype. Her latest, Borderline, is an outrageous and twisted delight.


Marking the feature writing and directing debut of her husband, Jimmy Warden, Borderline stars Weaving as Sofia, an extremely popular 90s pop star with a dangerously obsessive fan, Paul Duerson, played to over-the-top perfection by Ray Nicholson. While Sofia often has her loyal bodyguard (Eric Dane) at her back, one night, Paul slips through the cracks, determined to carry out his grand delusion, marrying Sofia.


Borderline is wonderfully bonkers in many respects, but it’s also an effective edge-of-your-seat thrill because Weaving successfully crafts an anchor character who can play with the extreme while feeling just grounded enough to convey she’s fighting for something real. It’s a reminder that, yes, Weaving is an absolute ace in the horror genre, but she’s also got the endless range to deftly handle a horror genre mash-up - and any other type of film she wants to tackle, for that matter.


With Borderline now available to watch in theaters and on digital, Weaving joined me for a Collider Ladies Night interview to revisit her film professor father’s early influence, to look back on her very first trip to LA and what it was like finding her place in Hollywood, and to discuss how she pushed herself in new ways in Borderline.
