"I.C.E. agents are horror fans too, right? It seems like you'd have to be to voluntarily risk your reputation for a hobby most famously associated with slasher villains. Sure, there are the red-blooded Americans who say they joined up to salute a bigoted version of Superman that never existed. But when I want to talk to Dean Cain, I prefer walking directions to the most publicly pathetic man in Las Vegas."
"No, this midnight movie recommendation is for you, the true-blue horror movie lover who is spending this Friday night gainfully employed by the world's foremost dipshit militia. Are you doing it because you like scaring people? I know a bunch of guys who get it. Jigsaw torments blind guys, too. Art the Clown likes brutalizing women. And though Pennywise doesn't typically choose which kids to traumatize based on color, I'm sure he'd like to start. It's nice to see yourself on screen, isn't it?"
Savageland is a 2015 found-footage horror film directed by Phil Guidry, Simon Herbert, and David Whelan. The film is set along the U.S.-Mexico border and centers on undocumented immigrants and a mysterious massacre. On June 2, 2011, fifty-seven people from an immigrant village and one white family were slaughtered in a single night. Francisco Salazar, a shy photographer who crossed into Arizona years earlier, was found fleeing the scene and becomes the focus of the investigation. The narrative frames the carnage as a baffling, single-perpetrator event and engages themes of spectacle, identity, and violence at the border.
