if you're into the whole slasher/gore type movies, this film is for you! i used to have this movie but lost it in the middle of moving. i had to buy it again & this movie deserves more recognition honestly. the plot is crazy & the way the story unfolds is amazing. very bloody & very inappropriate, just what every horror film needs. (:

The movie wasn't bad, I'd have enjoyed it a lot more without all of the inappropriate content. Its subtitled throughout the whole movie, which I dont mind if the movie is really good.

"Frontier(s)" proves, among other things, that the French film industry is one to watch when it comes to new additions to the horror genre. This is a relentlessly brutal and politically charged horror-thriller that deals with neo-Nazis, zombie-like anorexics that live in caves, and hostels that harbor hidden evil. Not for the squeamish, to be sure; but to me, it's inoffensive and flawlessly intense. I love the visual style, the story is at least somewhat interesting, and the acting is spot-on. The characters probably could have used a make-over, but I'll just take it for what it is; a violent piece of high-caliber entertainment. This is a pretty gruesome film, so if you can't take large amounts of blood and gore, absolutely do not see it (I don't think it was rated for its American theatrical run, although NC-17 probably would have suited it best, for the violence alone). Nevertheless, it's a very engaging and intelligent film, which is why I'm giving it points and holding it in such high regard. If you're a genre fan, you need to see it immediately.Read full review
what a bloody treat! if you like your horror/slasher films to begin in a somber, alienating mode, with political anarchy thrown in for good measure, and driven off track (or lost on the road like some of the characters) then add some neo nazi sickos, mutant children, hungry pigs and an aged ss henchman, then this twisted, over the top gore fest delivers all the goods that hollywood once turned out in the 70s. why is it that france( "inside" and the hopefully to be released in the u.s. "martyrs" etc) or germany("antibodies" etc) spain("rec" etc) and sweeden( "let the right one in") can all make masterful horror films that pay homage to the hollywood gore films of yore,and manage to add a new, interesting twist? and here in the usa we just churn out predictable drivel or bad remakes of brilliant foreign horror. c'mon guys. you must buy this movie now!!!!! and check out all the above and more european horror films.Read full review
O.K., I don't like reading movies, but this one is worth watching, if you are a big fan of 80's slasher horror. Adding to the horror, is that the family of cannibals are also Nazis! Wow, how politically incorrect! Cannibal Nazis! This could have been an early 70's drive-in movie if the cannibals were in full nazi regalia, but I guess that would offend people now. Nobody wants to see a sharp dressed Nazi cannibal. I give this one 2.5 skulls and 1/2 a swastika for lots of hateful bloody gore stuff, and scant political underbones.
