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.
