Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

David Davidson This movie was so bad, it made me create this account just so I can review this movieI'm a huge fan of this genre, I really love all kinds of gory hillbilly/backwood horror movies (Wrong Turn, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Hills Have Eyes, Jeepers Creepers, Wolf Creek, House of Wax etc.), and since this was compared to those, I was excited when I heard about Frontier(s). But after watching it, I'm hugely disappointed and I feel misled by the descriptions and positive IMDb rating for this movie. This is one of the most disappointing movies I've ever seen. The plot didn't make sense (there wasn't much of a plot actually), the characters and their actions were bizarre and not believable at all. I didn't understand the Nazi theme thrown into it (on a side note, the German phrases used were pronounced wrong and didn't make sense either) and I didn't understand what the first 30 minutes or so had to do with the rest of the movie.I wasn't able to sympathize with the main characters, especially since they annoyed me throughout the entire movie with their moaning/screaming/crying/hysterical breathing (and for some reasons seizures and walking like zombies), and when they weren't doing that, then the antagonists were yelling, crying or grunting. The movie was praised for it's gore, but there aren't a lot of goryscenes and the ones I saw weren't good.The only scene that made me feel a bit of horror was the tunnel scene where that one guy got stuck momentarily, but that idea was probably copied from "The Descent" (and a lot of other things happening in the movie seem to be copied from other movies).I was so happy when this movie was finally over (the ending was just as bad as the rest, by the way), not because of the horror, but because I was extremely bored. It was a bad idea to give the movie a chance and continue watching after I thought about quitting it after an hour or so. Would not recommend.

bowmanblue Frontiers is a good movie - or rather a 'good movie' if you like horror films. However, in my opinion, it will never be a great movie, on account of the fact that it's just The Texas Chainsaw Massacre set in France.A group of youngsters head out into the French countryside (does it really matter why?) and spend the night in a local hotel. Sadly for them, the hotel is run by a family of cannibal Neo Nazis.From then on we're treated to the general 'hunt 'em and kill 'em' type film which the Texas Chainsaw Massacre is often credited as starting. We have escapes, near escapes, gruesome deaths, a family of murderers with a strong family bond, an elderly relative that needs help eating her chopped up human dinner and all the things we've seen before.So, if you liked any of the Texas Chainsaw films or are generally a fan of the genre, you could certainly do worse than Frontiers. It's well shot, well-acted and has plenty of the red stuff flying around. Perhaps the only criticism is that some of the youngsters are pretty much as unlikeable as the Nazis who are hell-bent on chopping them up.If you don't mind the subtitles, you could spend a worse hour and a half watching this. It's just a pity it basically covers the same ground as the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

view_and_review This movie was teetering on the edge of me hitting stop and walking away. There were just too many flaws with this.OK, first let me give a rundown of the plot. Set in France, some hoodlums committed a robbery and were trying to escape to Holland. Their plan was to meet at a certain rendezvous point to split their loot and do whatever else. It was at this rendezvouz point that bleep starts happening.No one, and I mean no one in this movie was a decent human being. The killers and the killed were all morally bankrupt. But alas, we definitely rank robbery above maiming and killing.This movie had way too much screaming. I'd say half the lines of the men and the women were "Aaaaaah". The main character screamed so much that I'd have to think she couldn't talk for days after each shoot. I think Godzilla is more intelligible.And I thought that megalomania was dead? How do you ensure a character has a second chance at life, or a legitimate shot to win a battle... have a killer who is a megalomaniac. Or, not even a megalomaniac, just one who loves to revel in the moment instead of just killing his/her avowed enemy.This movie definitely delivers on the stomach turning, but the bottom line is that there were too many cliché's in this movie. It was good for gore and shock and awe, but terrible for originality and otherwise distinguishing itself as a horror movie.

p-stepien In the not-so-distant future of a near-fascist France a rag-tag band of outlaws of Arabic descent attempt to flee the country following a robbery. The foursome include the pregnant Yasmine (Karina Testa) and her former boy-friend Alex (Aurélien Wiik). During the escape the split and decide to meet up next to the Belgian border. Brothers Tom (David Saracino) and Farid (Chems Dahmani) arrive first to a run-down village inn fronted by nymphomaniac sisters from hell...Featuring a collage of ideas ranging from Nazi nymphos, retarded mutant offspring, mindless cannibalistic butchers and some of the dumbest victims in movie history, "Frontier(s)" attempts to ditch story for a plethora or gore, guts and other such ravings. Despite an initially promising suggestion of social commentary with racism set to be the carrying motif, Gens bottles the opportunity to randomly introduce gruesome deaths and reckless behaviour by dimwitted Arabs.Truly appalling script stitched together for its basic premise, while all other focus was diverted to churning out a Carrie inspired blood-soaked wedding finale. Situational examples? Two brothers crash in their car (lets avoid the touchy subject of actually being able to survive such a fall) - after miraculously surviving and being left for dead by the Nazis they decide on checking out a defunct mine shaft. Plot logic zero, but it did follow towards a tension-filled scene. Another? Farid, hunted by two Nazis, dispatches one aggressor, then decides to drop his weapon and scream at the toppled body (guess who comes up behind him?). As the plot thickens idiocy scatters around the movie with as much frequency as human entrails, leaving little to nothing to the imagination, probably because the scriptwriter lacked any to deliver a semblance of a logical story.
