If The Borderlands hit the spot, these will too

Both land dread and unease at once
The difference: Sits closer to drama than The Borderlands does

Common ground: suicide
The difference: Leans harder into thriller than The Borderlands does

Both lean on melancholy more than on horror

Both keep coming back to the same thing: found footage

Both are built on the same subject: suicide
The difference: Made in the 1960s, in a different era of the craft

The same preoccupation in both: found footage
The difference: Easier on the melancholy than The Borderlands

Dread-soaked horror in both cases
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Horror built on unease, twice over

Both run melancholy where it counts


Both work the same unease

One thread runs through both: alcoholic
