The Borderlands

The Borderlands is an enjoyably creepy found footage horror film. A team of two priests and an agnostic tech support engineer run into spooky goings on while investigating an alleged miracle in a small village church. Starring Gordon "Absolutely" Kennedy.

Re: The Borderlands

It looks good, and for a "found footage" movie I don't have that feeling of overwhelming nausea that I usually experience with the shaky cam.

Re: The Borderlands

It's good. It does so many things that I normally wouldn't like or are overused but does them very well. Great ending too.

Watched this tonight and thought it was superbly well executed. It's not often a modern horror film gets under my skin, but this one did.

Re: The Borderlands

nice, I have not seen a decent horror movie in months now. The last one I saw was The Banshee Chapter.

"I myself have never seen the Red Tower - no one ever has, and possibly no one ever will. And yet wherever I go people are talking about it. In one way or another they are talking about the nightmarish novelty items or about the mysterious and revolting hyper-organisms, as well as babbling endlessly about the subterranean system of tunnels and the secluded graveyard whose headstones display no names and no dates designating either birth or death"
