Desierto (2015)

Terrific experience here this movie which is a sort of mix-up between Don Medford's HUNTING PARTY and BEYOND THE REACH, released last year and starring Michael Douglas. But beware, BEYOND THE REACH is far far far lesser than this pure jewel from Mexico. Do not even dare to compare the two features, except for the basic script line, that's all. A brutal, powerful piece of work, folks. But I admit that I would have preferred a different ending, such as the one you had in HUNTING PARTY, back in 1970. THIS WAS AN ENDING. 

But nevertheless, this movie is awesome. In the last fifteen minutes, I felt my heartbeat as a war drum. 

Serious. 

Go for it...

The Synopsis / Storyline of Desierto

A group of Mexican emigrants attempts to cross the Mexican-US border. What begins as a hopeful journey to seek a new life becomes a harrowing and primal fight for survival when a deranged, rifle-toting vigilante and his loyal Belgian Malinois dog chase the group of unarmed men and women through the treacherous borderland. In the harsh, unforgiving desert terrain, the odds are stacked firmly against them as they continuously discover there’s nowhere to hide from the unrelenting, merciless killer.
A group of people trying to cross the border from Mexico into the United States encounter a man who has taken border patrol duties into his own racist hands.
