Select two cult films to compare side by side.
On the Border Synopsis
Farrell is taking advantage of the proximity of the rancho of Don Jose to the Mexican border by smuggling Chinese across the line into the United States. Dave, a border patrol officer posing as a tramp, is out to put an end to Farrell's activities. He is aided by police dog Rinty who gets to growl and show his teeth a lot. Pepita, the Don's daughter, gets to strum her guitar and sing a couple of songs.
Into the Light Synopsis
A simple country girl, brutally mistreated by her stepfather, awakens first the sympathy, then the love, of The Boy. The Spider, who lusts after The Girl, makes a bargain with the stepfather and takes her to the city where, kept prisoner, she is soon broken in health and spirit. Cast out and near death, she is taken in by The Boy. Following the demise of The Spider, The Boy takes her to church, where he prays, and after many hours she is restored to health.
"On the Border" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
