Review of The Borderlands (2014) by Paul B — 21 Jul 2014
Found footage movies were largely irrelevant post Blair Witch but received well by Paranormal Activity (the first one obviously) but this low budget British entry is very well done. Following a group Vatican investigators sent to look into reports of paranormal activity in a West Country church, the scene is set for an easy rehash of what has gone before.
This does something a little different in its location and approach with Gordon Kennedy & Robin Hill proving a fine double act. Writer/Director Elliot Golding ratchets up the tension and unnerving atmosphere, with several brilliantly scary scenes, to a unique & disturbing finale in a solid movie only slightly let down by the script.
