Watch The Borderlands For Free

You won't be disappointed!

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Admirable film.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

While Final Prayer can be slow at times, the overall atmosphere is very unsettling, the acting actually decent, and the ending, well, just give the film a chance. Fans of Lovecraft will enjoy this one.

I was looking for a found footage film to watch that would let me regain my respect for directors who are practitioners of the art.This was pretty good in terms of cinematography. The footage wasn't artificially jiggly or fuzzy or thrown around like a basketball. In fact at times it wasn't obvious at all. Usually there's some device to let you know where you are watching from, like a counter or CAM1 etc. But most shots were pretty clear and the POV swapped between the characters in an understandable way.The most effective tension mechanism was the villagers. Dour, sullen and uncommunicative. This could have been used more effectively and should have been ramped up progressively.The ending in the caves is horrifying. I was an underground miner so I'm not claustrophobic. But the way they get stuck is... - I'll say no more. Good ending. Wish I had watched it in the dark.

I really liked this movie. The low rating does it a disservice but I can understand it, being a movie that is relatively subtle and builds gradually without relying on old school jumps, cranky action sequences or gore at all. It gave me the creeps, and I'm not one to scare easily. I am a big horror fan and have been watching horror since I was far too young to be doing so but generally find the current state of horror to be fairly insipid and uninspiring, unimaginative and not scary, particularly the multiplex horror of recent times. I actually went into this one with fairly high expectations on the back of a recommendation by celebrated UK film critic Mark Kermode who, despite what else you might think of him, really does know his horror, inside out, and also generally seems to share the opinion that a lot of newer horror cinema is lacking in ideas, so when he does recommend a new horror movie I tend to take note. I'm glad I did. It's hard to put my finger on any one specific thing which made this film experience as effective as it was but I'm sure the fantastic rumbling, building, sinister but cleverly sparse soundtrack had something to do with it. The acting was good and the confusion and panic which slowly creeps in was well played out, the script was great, giving equal space for humour as well as terror which never felt forced but on the contrary balances the tone of the film out nicely. Probably most importantly the characters are brilliantly written which is becoming something of a rarity in modern horror cinema it seems. The relationship between the two main characters was a joy to watch develop and was most definitely a major contributing factor in how effecting I found the ending when it finally rears its ugly head. You care about these two. You've warmed to them, you like them, and to see them in such a desperate state of peril gets you right in the gut. It's been a long time since I felt such a sense of dread and discomfort throughout the last act of a film and a long time since the last few moments of a film have stuck in my mind in such a way and left me reeling like it did once the credits hit (with the exception of Kill List, another fantastic recent British horror film that is comparable to this in many ways, sharing the building sense of dread that creeps over you throughout). This is a decent effort by a talented film-maker which manages to do something different with the 'found footage' format and I very much look forward to seeing what they do next.

A low budget British gem that delivers. Don't let the found- footage sub-genre put you off as this isn't your typical-shaky-cam film. I love the way the friendship develops between the two leads. Deacon, the cynic is having doubts about his faith and spends half the film finding solace in the bottom of a wine bottle. Grey, the cheeky-geezerish bloke who you take an instant like to, though not a believer per se, Grey can't entirely discount the possibility of a more cosmic force guiding our lives in unseen ways. Together they uncover a sinister truth more horrifying than either of them could have imagined.The film has ambition that transcends its meager budgetary constraints. There are some terrifically unsettling set-piecesIt uses gore sparingly, focusing more on claustrophobic chills and general edit room trickery to build up a picture of a world on the verge of ripping itself apart.The ending will probably stay with you for some time. I still feel uneasy just thinking about it. Enjoy!
