Eli Roth er mest af alt kendt for at lave sadistisk body horror, men han knyttede sig hurtigt, ret overraskende, til filmatiseringen af Borderlands.
Filmen blev dog en gigantisk fiasko, og nu siger Roth selv, at han overraskende nok er enig. I et interview med Variety indrømmer han, at som budgettet steg til $120 millioner, så blev granskningen fra chefer større, og at han så endte med at lave noget han ikke er stolt af.
"As things grow bigger, studios just naturally become more risk averse. My nature as a filmmaker is to do the thing that's left of center, because that's what has worked for me. You got something that belonged to nobody. It's not a kids' movie, but it's trying to appeal to everybody. It's for gamers, but it doesn't have the violence the gamers want because it can't be that extreme because it costs too much. You just wind up with a movie that's neither fish nor fowl."
