Overview

• 'Borderlands,' released in August 2024, grossed just $33 million globally on a $115 million budget and received a 10% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes.
• Eli Roth attributed the film's failure to the production challenges posed by COVID-19, including remote coordination and disrupted reshoots.
• Reshoots in 2023 were directed by Tim Miller while Roth worked on his slasher film 'Thanksgiving,' contributing to the movie's inconsistent creative vision.
• Roth expressed willingness to work with Lionsgate again but emphasized the difficulties of making a large-scale film under pandemic conditions.
• The experience led Roth to refocus his career, launching 'The Horror Section,' an independent studio dedicated to uncut and genre-focused horror films.
