A group of Mexican emigrants attempts to cross the Mexican-US border. What begins as a hopeful journey becomes a harrowing, bloody 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 discover there’s nowhere to hide from the unrelenting, merciless killer.

Highly Overrated But Still Good
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
As a film director I found the movie simple and great, interesting mix. Its a very believable story and makes you really care about the characters. It presents a very good topic but if you are prejudiced you shouldn't watch the movie. Its unfair that people give reviews based on their personal values instead of really talking about the movie, I can see that happening in the comments section. I have this movie on the list of movies that I aspire to create or at least study.
So here we have a citizen defending his border from illegal aliens made out to be the bad guy. The whole movie is backwards. Also anyone that fires a flare directly into a dog's mouth causing it to burn to death deserves to die a brutal death in the next scene. Very angry about this movie.
Definitely didn't end the way I wanted it to. I don't have sympathy for any of the characters in this movie. Total waste of 88 minutes of my life. If this was trying to make some sort of social statement it failed miserably. Morgan as a caricature, redneck, drunken hunter, and Bernal as the righteous guy just trying to get back to the states for his kid (illegally)... neither one of these characters deserved to live. This movie sucked.
Desierto is a movie that tries to tackle a very serious topic with a handful of caricatures and two very good actors which are lazily directed. From a purely technical stance it tries to offer up some captivating shots during its first couple of minutes but it becomes quite clear as the movie progresses that Quaron does not know how to shoot a chase sequence, which this movie basically is. It's one big horror movie chase sequence that leaves a lot to desire in terms of dialog and pacing.The most concerning thing is that one leaves the movie without knowing what the directors intentions were. Was it to shine a light on the topic? to make a polarizing movie? to get some sort of radical reaction from the viewer? to serve as a cautionary tale?In any case, it ends up being a pretty tasteless and irresponsible treatment of a serious topic and it doesn't offer up anything else as a possible saving grace.
