Movie Reviews of Borderland - After Dark Horror Fest
Movie Review: Great shocker!
Summary: 5 Stars
The After Dark flicks I've seen in the past were all dissapointing and flat and very boringly put together. Imagine my surprise that when I watched this movie on the Sci-Fi Channel this morning--while eating breakfast--and then discovered it was among the After Dark entries.
This movie grabs you in the first frame and doesn't let go until the final scene. It's all supposedly based on real facts, in which some bone-headed Mexicans truly believe in this bizarre religion where human sacrifice is warranted to appease their god of darkness.
The movie is wonderfully acted, directed and photographed and there's not one cardboard cutout stereotype among the cast. These villians look so real you wonder if they the director scrounged them up off the sidestreets.
The only two minor complaints I have is that (1) the female character never did anything but cry and cringe, even while her friends are being butchered. Only toward the last does she get up enough gumption to grab a gun and help out her boyfriend. The (2) complaint is that too many times, the victims have a chance to blast away at their tormentors but they hesitate, as if hesitate about killing someone who is going to definitely kill them at the first chance. One would think that when you're trying to escape from some certified nutjobs, hellbent on slitting your throat, that you're going to destroy them first.
Other than that, this is a way above average thriller that doesn't pause for a moment as it tells a horrifyingly true story--and the perils that come with traveling into a place with a bad reputation. In other words, take a trip to Disneyland!
