More "horror"

After finishing Borderlands, the next movie on my list of the Horrorfest, I'm happy to report that my expectations have been met, mostly. Third times a charm? This film actually has fairly disturbing moments, and is just generally creepy. This is most likely due to the fact that it's based on true events in Mexico in 1989. A drug cartel became involved in the occult, believing that human sacrifice would help with their operation by making them invisible and invincible.

Anyway, with the disturbing images and overall uneasiness the film causes, I can see why it belongs on this "too gruesome for release" list.

Lake Dead definitely has a few moments of frakked up scenes and also belongs on this list. Unfortunately, the movie blows goats. Take a little Jason Meyers, add a dash of The Hills Have Eyes stir in some incest and voila! You've got a Horrorfest movie, just not a good one.

Unfortunately this movie has nothing really new, poor acting and below average writing - miss it.

Unearthed wasn't quite as bad, but had no real redeeming factors either. Add to that the total lack of gruesomeness and it's a definite wast of time, though the main actor is pretty hot.

Not that that's a reason to waste 2 hours, usually...
