Title: Burrowing Under the Skin to the Reality of the American West
Review: Well, here's a dying species: a beautifully made horror film with great attention to detail and respect for the viewer's intelligence. That THE BURROWERS was not released theatrically is further testament to the current "dumbing down" of the Hollywood experience. The powers-that-be decided that the first weekend wouldn't go boffo and canceled release--thus, a major film goes direct to DVD. Pity. Everything works here, nothing's wasted, a labor of love that is as much an alternative history as it is traditional horror. It offers up a vision of an America where the death of the great herds of buffalo that used to roam the land signifies a dread that lies beyond greed, selfishness and the blind stumbling inertia of manifest destiny.
