This Film Outbeats Everything!!! Just when i was browsing this site i came across this movie and was very much interested to see it.I read the synopsis and my enthusiasm grew more.I couldn't find this movie anywhere and after some time i came to know its going to be screened for Horrorfest 2007 and was happy that id get to see it.I somehow managed to download the movie and saw it.
The movie starts off with police officers searching some house presumably of a drug lord,in fact yes-Santeria who is not shown at the beginning;all they find is faces of a cult tribe somewhat like (not exactly) Voodoo where smuggling of drugs (cocaine) and human sacrifice takes place.One officer is killed(eyes removed out and then killed) while the other officer is forced to see this and is left; after which the movie starts.
It starts off with three young graduates who will be seeing each other for the last time after which they will part ways.They decide to move to the US-Mexico border for some fun(girls and booze).There they (I mean Ed ie- Brian Presely) finds this bartender girl-Martha Higareda and then it starts off as fun but then turns into a nightmare when they cross roads with the cult.
I have seen many movies with lots of gore and blood but this ones has an intelligent reason behind it.To make an horror movie various different elements are needed; this movie contains everything.It has gore, violence, nudity, good(i mean great background score) which keeps you tensed and gripping, great plot(based on a true story), good acting , strong performances especially by Brian Presely and Martha Higareda and overall good direction.
I recommend "BORDERLAND" to be seen by all horror fans cause it wont leave you disappointed.It keeps you intrigued and leaves you gripping till the end.This is a great horror movie with a perfect blend of crime.
Awesome, Outstanding, Fantabulous, Mind-blowing, Superb, well what else can i say I have seen many films but "BORDERLAND" outbeats everything!!!
