"...admirably stands the test of time. Despite its financial restrictions, it is a solid effort that works on all levels. Not a masterpiece, perhaps, but definitely a classic of its genre..."

"Lucio Fulci's undead epics, with their over-the-top depictions of graphic violence, fall squarely into this splatter category, or so it seems, at first. Actually, there is a little something more going on: a demented, despairing metaphysical speculation."

"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."
