THE BORDERLANDS

Deacon, a veteran paranormal investigator, is sent by the Vatican to a remote church in England to confirm a so called miracle. He’s partnered with the much younger techie Gray. They install camera’s all over the place and put on head-cams to register everything that will happen. Even though Gray is agnostic and Deacon a man of the faith, the latter is the most skeptical about the claims of local priest Crellick. Deacon’s decades long experience has learned him that people are willing to go very far to fake something. But the strange atmosphere in the village is everything but fake and the further their investigation goes, the weirder and more dangerous things become. Yes, this is a found footage but don’t start running away just yet. The Borderlands is not a zero budget hobby horror weekend project of a few friends with lots of screaming and camera sweeping and nothing much too see at all. This first feature by Elliot Goldner benefits from a solid script and intelligently plays with the genre concept. There’s real chemistry between the leads and the creepy end is guaranteed not to disappoint you.
