The Killing Of America is the best film of all the mondo bullshit. Executions has a really fucked up headshot scene that will stick in your mind forever.

So I actually wanted to add a new movie to this thread. I actually found this movie to be incredibly graphic, raw, and well done. There are certain death scenes that definitely focus on the strength and resolution of the human body... I mean, people aren't that easy to kill...
The movie is Borderland.  I've already touched on this film in the "Last Film I've Watched" thread, but I thought that I would elaborate more here. My boyfriend takes issue with this film being classified as a horror movie as it definitely leans into the broken detective fighting his own personal demons plus investigative revenge epic plus drug cartel/cultish themes. With a little bit of lost Spring Breakers thrown into the mix. Ok... Maybe that description doesn't really sell the film... The honest truth about the film is that it's gritty, honest, and truly horrifying. Spring Breakers run across a creepy cult who are part of a drug cartel. There are various questions between what is real and what is supernatural. Throughout the entire film, I wasn't sure where it was going, but I was excited to get there. It was definitely slow going at first, but now that I know the purpose of the film, I would definitely own it. And why does it belong in this thread? There are suspense scenes. There are torture scenes. There are scenes that made me absolutely cringe for the victims. INCREDIBLY well done. Definitely rent it when it becomes available.

I'm rereading my post and I just wanted to add...
Part of the horror of the film is the feeling of alienation and isolation (Spring Breakers across the Border in a world with a language and cultural barrier). Not an original theme, but done really well there. Also, I wanted to clarify the "supernatural" aspect that I spoke of... I don't think that I was particularly clear... What I meant was that it's not really clear whether or not the assailants are supernatural entities or not, and that's definitely part of the purpose. Good juxtaposition to different cultural themes. Just had to be more clear. Enjoy when it comes out. :)

That sounds good.
However, these HDC 100s are compiled as projects by all the members here. So until most of them haven't seen Borderland, it will stay on the fringes of selection.

I just went through this thread and love the list and the other films that are recommended throughout the discussion. You guys and gals have given me a few that I have not seen yet to hunt down and have included many of my faves.
Good job!
