A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.
Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.
The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.
This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.
If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
Borderland is loosely based on Adolfo de Jesús Constanzo, cult leader and wannabe druglord from the ’80s.
In a border-town of Mexico, police turn a blind eye to ritualistic killings by a self-styled drug cult. The cult leader believes his human and animal sacrifices have rendered his drugs invisible to the border police.
Meanwhile, three Americans who’re about to head off to college arrive in Mexico looking for a good time. And a good time is exactly what they get.
It starts out promising but ends up disappointing. 3 super arrogant American fucks are heading down to Mexico with an attitude like they already own the place. Knowing that there is a vicious satanic cult that they are most likely going to run in to, you look forward to seeing the extremely irritating asshole victims get royally fucked over. The smarmiest arrogant gringo, the shithead who’s going to ditch Stanford U to do volunteer work in Africa, is the guy you want to see get tortured and fucked over the most but he barely gets a scratch. I’ll go straight up the middle with this one and give it just a cunt hair over 2 and a half stars.
well that was shite
The fact it is loosely based on the acts of a Mexican cartel adds an interesting angle. However, that said the film is nothing exceptional. Nicely filmed but the plot feels formulaic (to me). Still, worth a watch but only 3/5 eyeballs.
It’s Shawn Hunter. Where is BF Cory Mathews and Mr. Feeny? You know from the tv show Boy Meets World? I grew up watching that him on that show.
At least we had some survivors with all the cult leaders disposed.
boring
TERRIFIC! Good story, gripping and gory, and some beautiful sexy women!
I read the book about these guys decades ago. As I recall they were more brutal and crazy then what’s depicted here. This turns into a formulaic bad guy chase, get there in the nick of time (which they don’t manage to do) sort of thing. They got the part about “feeding the Nganga” right enough, and the references to Black Santeria are there too. What they miss is fuller elaboration on the insane rationales of the cult leader and the sordidness of his actual motives, and the actual extent of what was done to victims to feed the Nganga, the foul smelling pot used at the center of his “magic.” Still and all, this was a decent watch for me until the end, where it became ludicrous.
There are a lot of way better flicks here, but if you don’t know the actual story, this may satisfy you. Read the book about Adolfo Constanzo and his followers to see how crazy the situation actually was.
As a horror film, its action scenes are good.
Alright to watch once, the actual case was gorier so i’m disappointed
I am American and i agree with the European, the movie at the end was lame.
Firstly, what is up with the final cut over saturated digital colors? Whoever edited this was insane. I see the purpose of the grittiness by using hard contrast but the over saturation was overboard. Secondly, the sound guy was smoking weed because in one part I heard literally 6 beeps from a car outside. Someone kept beeping. Like really loudly.I guess they felt that didn’t deserve a second take? Wtf. Who does that? Terrible sound person. Finally, the end. Ok the gore was really well done. Hats off to the makeup and special effects people. They were honestly the best part of this film. Unfortunately the writers wanted to make it a hero movie. Then again, it was made in 2007. I guess the hero trope was still alive and well in horror films back then. I hate movies like this. It’s true and I admit it, it’s mainly an American Hollywood style film in that sense. One guy + one girl save the world. Yawn. They could have broken huge ground by sticking to a better story. I do like most of the story line in the middle but they killed it with that ending. Otherwise good film. 3/5 black hearts.
Just found out this film existed, pretty interesting that they made a film based off this horrible dude and his crimes that was close to the place where I live
Fuck me and fuck you all
This movie is really great. Not original, but great.
Utter trash. I expected torture porn based on real events, instead I got another ‘American goes full Rambo and saves the day’ film. Where was all the rape and torture? The wire through the spine stuff? You know, the stuff that really happened? Don’t waste your time with this.
Life in Mexico!
Dam that was ALOT of shit dialogue. script was written by an edgy 9 year old.
Fucking scary movie… Pretty sure it’s true to life. That country is wall to wall full of violent, perverted, child killing psychos. No offence meant!
What a Garbage. Total waste of time. Why american movies are such rubbish???
better than i thought… No mister Frodooo!!!
Wat happens to the old man in thhe house at the end
Beto Cuevas is singer from Chile band called “La Ley ” (the Law)
Very much along the lines of Hostel, Cabin Fever, Saw, etc. V good in that respect. Esp if you’re like me and love anything Santeria/mexican cartel related.
