Enjoyable schlock sci-fi that exceeds expectations. "The Borrower" is such an odd film that there was little hope for it to avoid cult status. You get "Scanners"- like exploding alien heads, with replacements being squeezed off innocent victims. The movie has unexpected humor, mostly relating to the hapless alien trying to fit in with homeless street people. Meanwhile, the police are understandably perplexed by the missing heads. The film is not perfect, but there is no denying that it has definite entertainment value. I especially liked the ending, which obviously pointed towards a non existent "Borrower"#2............... - MERK
