Follows a team of Vatican investigators sent to the British West Country to investigate reports of paranormal activity at a remote church.
A satisfyingly clammy horror elevated by some strong performances.
Writer/director and one-to-watch Elliott Goldner’s feature debut is a rare find: a convincing British found-footage horror that actually has some good performances and genuine scares.
Scary, funny, surprising. The Borderlands pushes the boundaries of low-budget Brit horror.
A very punchy, funny, scary movie and a fantastically unnerving location.
Low-budget horror films based around found footage began to seem outdated not long after The Blair Witch Project (1999) but this British excursion into the form is surprisingly enjoyable.
Yet another handycam-style shocker – but with some well-orchestrated tricks up its sleeve.
The Borderlands’ crafty virtue is that it understands that hand-held camerawork and boo scares aren’t an excuse to neglect plot, dialogue or characters.
