Loosely based on the true story involving the disappearance of a young American tourist that was linked to a cult leader that practiced human sacrifice, Borderland was the sleeper hit of the After Dark festival, in my opinion. Mulberry Street and Deaths of Ian Stone were other hits in the fest, but both seemed to get a bit more buzz than this did, which led me to not expect much from this. It turns out that this is actually a good movie, and delivers a realistic approach at how certain scenes would likely turn out in real life. This is no cookie-cutter movie.
