Review of Borderland

Borderland (2007)
7/10
they dared to cross the border
7 April 2009
I have seen this film in Fango among others and I immediately was involved with it. As I am not only a horrorgeek I also have a lot of books concerning serial killers. So the articles did ring a bell but again in Europe it was the cut version so I bought me the directors uncut. Well I can tell, this movie gets you by the throat. You will have some goosebumps if you know that this really happened. Okay, all names and sites are changed by names. On forums people couldn't believe that this really was a fact, they thought it was a commercial stunt like they did with Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Well, I can tell that it all happened with Mark Kilroy and the suspect was Adolfo Constanzo. Anyway, the movie. It starts of with some rough scene's so you are immediately connected with the film. Then we go one year further to know the characters. Luckily they didn't make any romance in this flick. Okay, there is a bit of love but that's aside the storyline. The acting is very well done especially on the gang itself, Marco Bacuzzi gives a great performance, doesn't say a thing but his face says enough. Beto Cuevas, normally a singer gives an arrogant performance. This movie really got it all for me, I was stunned. the director surely crossed the border.
