Borderland: 22 Out Of 100 Stars

I wanted to rate this higher because it has a lot of very good elements, but the sum does not add up to it's parts.

It's the story of a town on the Mexican side of the border that is run by drug running, murderous cult who do unspeakable things to their victims.

A lot of human sacrifice and mutilations are shown vividly and while gory, they never really hit you with the punch they ought.

All the leads are fair enough, save for the ex cop trying to convince anyone who'll listen of the horrors going on, but La Policia want to hear none of it.

3 teenagers out for one last wild weekend head across the border and of course get caught up in the middle of things and craziness ensues.

The end was a big letdown for me as it seems they just stopped, never concluding a major plot point.

Might be interesting to watch if the subject intrigues you but in general not a whole lot going on.
