 Truly interesting - even with subtitles! September 13, 2008
Bow Down Before The One You Serve (Manassas, VA)
I love horror - and this certainly is! Even having to read the subtitles, it's absolutely excellent. The depravity is surreal! I think it's even better that the other French movie I like - Calvaire. The young girl, who's a member of the family, well, she's just great in the film. If you could imagine something like this happening, you'd expect a person to act exactly like her in this film. I can't really tell you much more - other than, if you like horror with a little gore - you'll like this.
 A French shocker with guts! September 5, 2008
John Lindsey (Socorro, New Mexico USA.)
In Paris there have been riots going on during an election campaign, a group of troubled punks escape from the city after commiting a vicious crime and away from the cops. They hide out in the countryside at a secluded Inn owned by strange people but instead of finding a nice dream of a place to stay, it becomes a living nightmare when the owners reveal themselves to be terrible neo-nazis who want new world order and uses the crooks as subjects for their torturous experiments of fascism.
Interesting and gripping French/Swiss horror thriller is one of the better horror imports of recent memory! The film does offer a little political subtext as one of the major subjects of the film including the idea of fascism and terrorism. There is graphic scenes of torture and gore like a man boiling in a very high steam room and a few cringe inducing moments, the film does have decent acting and decent direction as the film is France's answer to "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" as it leaves you shocked and feeling sorry for the characters. Luc Besson ("Leon", "The Fifth Element") serves as one of the producers, this is definitely a worth while shocker that has guts literally and some good ideas.
This DVD is pratically bareboned with only trailers to other movies, no interviews or featurettes nor a commentary but offers the film in it's uncut unrated version with English Subtitles.
Also recommended: "Ichi The Killer", "Texas Chainsaw Massacre Series including 2003 remake and The Beginning", "Friday The 13th Series", "Halloween Series including 2007 Rob Zombie version", "The Devil's Rejects", "Re-Animator", "Men Behind The Sun", "Deep Red", "Suspiria", "Inferno", "The Hills Have Eyes (1977 and 2006)", "High Tension", "Hostel 1 & 2", "Cannibal Ferox", "Saw Series", "The New York Ripper", "From Dusk Till Dawn", "Grindhouse", "The Hitcher (1986)", "Last House on The Left", "Maniac (1980)", "Borderland", "Inside (2007)", "The Untold Story", "Bloodsucking Freaks", "A Nightmare on Elm Street", "Cannibal Apocalypse", "The Toxic Avenger", "Blood Diner", "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer", "Ilsa Series", "Wolf Creek", "Mother's Day", "The Burning" and "Otis".
Gore Galore August 27, 2008
J. Davis (Texas, USA)
Plot in a nutshell- Criminals on the run from the cops make a stop at a hostel on the outskirts of the city. Its a normal hostel, if all hostels are ran by cannibals. Hope they brought running shoes...
Sick but Entertaining. Its like if "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" had a love child with "Hostel." If you liked both of those flicks you'll love this one. Frontier(s) is only availible with English subtitles (no dubbing) for all of you folks who don't like "reading" movies. Well worth a watch even if you don't as there is plenty of very well done gore.
It's a gas!! August 26, 2008
soberguy56 (Arizona, USA)
I saw a lot of hype on this before it came out, so I was expecting a lot from it. It wasn't the best I've seen, but if you like "Hostel" then this is definitely worth the money.
 Just worth watching August 15, 2008
M. Wolf (Camp Eggers)
I enjoyed this to the end. There was enough gore, brutality, crazy inbred villains, and gushing blood to keep me interested to the end. This is not the French answer to Hostel, it is different in many respects. It was blood soaked. If that's your thing, you will like it. If not, then don't watch it.
