You thought it was a just a story... but it's real.
On the surface, Tim (Barry Watson) is a seemingly normal, twenty-something guy. He's got a decent job and is moving fast in his relationship with his girlfriend Jessica (Tory Mussett). But an intense, paralyzing fear that has been terrifying him since childhood is tearing him apart. And it's getting worse every day. When Tim was eight, something devastating happened. Each night his dad would put him to sleep with a bedtime story. Many of these stories teetered on the brink of horror, but Tim and his father made sure his bedroom was safe when the lights finally went out. Until that one fateful night. As Tim watched from his bed, paralyzed with fear, his father was violently sucked into the closet, and was never seen or heard from again.
Tim is terrified that the Boogeyman will someday return and take him as he has taken so many before. Many years later, Tim reluctantly returns home to face his fears of a monstrous entity that could be real or merely a figment of his imagination.

For photographer Ben (Joshua Jackson) and his new wife Jane (Rachael Taylor), his new assignment - a lucrative fashion shoot in Tokyo - was supposed to be a kind of working honeymoon. With this exotic professional opportunity and the limitless possibilities of a new marriage, Ben and Jane arrive in Japan. But as they make their way on a mountain road leading to Mt. Fuji, their new life together comes to, literally, a crashing halt. Their car smashes into a woman standing in the middle of the road, who has materialized out of nowhere. Upon regaining consciousness after the accident, Ben and Jane cannot find any trace of the girl Jane believes she hit with the car.
Shaken by the accident and by the girl's disappearance, Ben and Jane arrive in Tokyo, where Ben begins his glamorous assignment. Having worked in Japan before and fluent in the language, Ben is comfortable there, and he eagerly reunites with old friends and colleagues. Jane, a newcomer to the city, feels very much like a stranger in a strange land as she makes tentative, unsettling forays through the city.
Ben, meanwhile, has discovered mysterious white blurs - eerily evocative of a human form - that have materialized on an entire day's work from the expensive photo shoot. Jane's concerns escalate as she believes the blurs in Ben's photos are the dead girl from the road, who is now seeking vengeance for them leaving her to die…

Who is he – Borgman, the iconoclast? Is he a real human being, or a fusion of fears and anger, hiding behind layers of respectability, prosperity and carelessness? Is he a demon from nightmares, or an allegory, or an embodiment of all human fears come alive—like an evil spirit on the loose.
Disturbed and exiled from his shelter, he arises from nowhere, and a steady life of an ordinary family will never be the same...Apocalypses is a recurrent dream, that one can forget about, but cannot get recovered from.
"Borgman" is like a complex puzzle, a maze constructed from passion, nightmares and exposed horrors, put in a frame of a surreal thriller.
Shot in unique style of the ideologist of the European absurd, this magnetic puzzle became the most obscure, harsh and sophisticated creation of the director, who possesses devilish fantasy and precise, abrupt impulse. He wildly plays with mythology, as well as with pictorial, literary and biblical motives.
