"THE BORDERLANDS" Is The Next Film To Get The Second Sight Treatment!

Found Footage films are some of the most popular to consume and produce in the horror genre. For fans, they offer a more immersive experience for the viewer by putting them in a first-person POV. For filmmakers, found footage is often a lower barrier to entry and production which allows for more creativity on a lesser budget. No matter how you feel about these films, they are a mainstay in the genre with no signs of slowing down.

Which is why the amazing folks at Second Sight Films have once again outdone themselves with their upcoming release of The Borderlands. Like previous limited edition releases from the brand, this set is packed with new special features, and essays, as well as a collectible set that looks great on your shelves. Check out the press release below for more details, pre-orders are open now if you’d like to ensure your copy ahead of release!

Say your prayers as writer-director Elliot Goldner’s chiller The Borderlands is set to strike fear into your very soul, as this acclaimed British horror classic comes to Limited Edition Blu-ray from Second Sight Films. The brand-new set arrives on 8 April 2024 and comes complete with a host of fascinating special features, it will also be available in a standard edition.

When frequent strange happenings are reported at a thirteenth-century church in rural Devon, a small team of Vatican investigators are sent in to try and demystify the unusual goings on… But what they discover is more disturbing than they could ever imagine.

 Acclaim for The Borderlands (aka Final Prayer in the US) has been wide-reaching, with some drawing comparisons to not only horror classics, such as The Omen, The Exorcist, and The Wicker Man (The Independent) as well as Blair Witch and Kill List, but the surprising too: sitcom Peep Show (The Guardian). With Goldner’s sharp script and some brilliant special effects, the film really does bring its own brilliant spin to the found footage horror genre.

 Lauded for its humour and creepy location by many, with Evening Standard noting ‘The banter between Robin Hill (Kill List, Down Terrace) and Gordon Kennedys (The Halycon, Robin Hood) cynical Scot is funny and unsettling. And the stark church is a winner, the film makes for a unique and terrifying watch.
