Si J I love this film. Ok so maybe I'm a tad biased with my love of found footage horror films, but the borderlands is one of my all time favourite films. A breath of fresh air to, what was at the time, a boring and cheesy British horror scene, the borderlands brought something new to the table. Brilliant storyline, fantastic chemistry between Deacon and Gray, beautiful setting, a solid reason for the footage and a twist you just do not see coming that will stay with you for a long time. If you liked this film may I recommend the short story "shifting of the sands" by John Connolly. I can't recommend this film enough. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review Logan D Investigators are sent from the Vatican to examine claims of supernatural events at an old church in Devon countryside. Different than most found footage films as it's composed from static cameras, for the most part. Unfortunately this distances us from the story. I found the movie mildly entertaining for about a half hour. After that the audience is just waiting for something to happen and uninteresting reveals about the characters. The finale is bonkers, however. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/10/25 Full Review Andy B Found footage films are incredibly variable. This is one of the good ones. A small, competent cast; a creepy plot; an unsettling ending. All delivered very well. The main characters are a Vatican team investigating the report of a miracle in a Devon church. There are three of them and they are all equipped with head cams which captures the action as it proceeds. As the plot unfold, it becomes clear there is something very different going on and the last twenty minutes rushes towards the claustrophobic climax. The dialogue is realistic and well handled. The characters are well drawn and engaging. This is a surprisingly good watch for a low budget film. The end is truly nasty. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review James D As a fan of found footage films, this was definitely one of the best that I've seen. It's a bit slow in the beginning, but as the plot unravels, you become more engaged and interested in the characters. This was also actually scary; it relied on tension instead of jump scares and gratuitous gore. It's one of those films that impacts you after watching, like you watched a cursed tape or something. Would recommend watching for all horror/found footage fans. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Aaron D I enjoyed the characters chemistry, and the slow pace the movie rolled out its story with. However, the story concludes with tying up a few loose ends only to create a final moment that's more bizarre and silly than it is satisfying. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Gregory B It's just a really bad movie. Cheesy characters, a disjointed story, and an unsatisfying conclusion that had hardly anything to do with the rest of the film. I don't get it. At all.
