Berman balances the weight of the actual events with the desire to mount a simply effective horror story, and I think he pulls it off quite well.

Without warning, they fall prey to an ancient blood cult hellbent on finding candidates for human sacrifice. Based on true events, Borderland tells a story which blends the raw fear of Texas Chainsaw Massacre with the stark reality of In Cold Blood, evoking a world soaked in paranoia, fear, and dread. --© After Dark Films [More]

Reviews for Borderland
Borderland takes this libertarian view of paradise (no law, no government, just rich people doing what they want) and turns it on its head in a particularly brutal and ugly way, without expressing a political point of view in a heavy-handed way.
Every once in awhile, a film can defy expectations, and Lionsgate's Borderland is one such case.
...ultimately descends into a brutal orgy of torture and mutilation that's harrowing to watch, because it's played completely real.
...one can't help but admire any film that features a villain with a penchant for saying things like "I'll decorate my bedroom wall with your skin"...
