Review of Borderland (2007) by Jeff D — 28 Mar 2008
This film really surprised me. I was looking for a throw away gorefest and instead found something inventive and interesting. It's very dark, disturbing, and extremely visceral. I found myself drawn into this world and even though there are a few of the typical cliche'd, "c'mon character, don't do that" type of scenes, it held my interest all the way through.
If you're squeamish at all, for God's sake do NOT watch this film. There are a few insanely cringe-worthy scenes (achilles tendon, anyone?) But if you like feeling "icky" and truly disturbed (like me.
.. I'm sick, I know) watch it for sure. If anything, you HAVE to see Sean Astin playing against type as a psycho, and only American member of the Satanic cult. I definitely recommend this film for some good time heebee jeebees.
