This has been one frustratingly long week. Between car
issues, flooding streams, a blizzard, working late, and subzero temperatures;
this one had everything to keep me overwhelmed. With the weekend finally here,
it is time to take a step back and get on track with the blog. Next up for
review is the 2013 found footage flick, Final Prayer (AKA The Borderlands).
Plot/ A team of Vatican investigators descends upon a church
in a remote area to demystify the unusual happenings, but what they discover is
more disturbing than they had first imagined.
The found footage subgenre has become almost as saturated as
the apocalyptic world of the zombie. Still, occasionally, you can find one that
comes from nowhere to be a great surprise. That was the case with this one.
While there was really nothing special or new, it was also one of the better
entries to come along, with solid acting, a decent plot, some actual character
development, and a tense atmosphere that makes it and interesting watch. Yes,
there are the typical flaws that come along with the genre, but those do
nothing to truly harm this flick. In the end, this one is an entertaining
watch, and a movie that was actually a surprise. Give it a shot!
