BOARDERLAND

This movie was really good & really stupid all at once. The begining is amazing! The movie sets a really strange foriegn religion/cult type of a back drop for an American in Mexico movie with booze, girls, drugs & all the regular party stuff. There is even some human sacrifice & a ton of blood & gory guts, but unfortunatly even a butt load of blood & guts & limbs & what ever other nasty things you could dredge up would not have made the end of the movie better!!! There is a such a thing as to much of a good thing, they missed it by 30 min. or more.

i enjoyed the movie too but was skeptical if this really did happen or not
i found this on imdb.....alot of crazy shit happens in mexico especially tj so im kinda starting to believe something did happen...

<Sigh> Ye of little faith.

As the film's director, I can say definitively that it did indeed happen. I was on the border in 1989, traveling across the country with my buddies at the time. We had just come from New Orleans, where we had collected all these cool Voodoo trinkets, and we made the mistake of decorating our VW bus with them. As we crossed the border, we ran smack into the Mexican army, toting machine guns. They forced us out of our bus and demanded to know if we were 'satanicos'. We managed to convince them that we weren't. Turns out they were all down there looking for a Texas college student who had vanished while partying with his buddies. The resulting investigation turned up a drug cartel that had gotten involved in the occult. They were sacrificing victims to protect their drug operation. Crazy, I know, but this is the world we are living in.

Wanna research it? Don't take my word for it. Read what the Crime Library has to say.

I followed the emerging case when I got back home, and it just got worse and worse. My main feeling was, 'Wow, that coulda been me.' Years later, there was a lot I thought I could say by telling this story, and I made a movie about it.

I told Lion's Gate when we started this process that we needed to wage a campaign to remind people that this did indeed happen. I don't blame you, utcreed, for being suspicious. Who wouldn't be? The words 'Based on a true story' are virtually meaningless these days. In my case, it's all true. I was there.

I even made a half hour documentary about it. It's going to be a special feature on the DVD. We have footage from the original investigation that no one has ever seen before. Keep your eyes open for it.
