well done French extreme horror film.... by James C. Ward (Tuscaloosa area AL, USA)  4 Stars
November 14, 2009
after viewing the film...my thoughts were: wow, this was a really good horror film. The acting was very good, believable (especially the lead actress); the emotional tension / visual blood scenes / physical violence were mixed together well. I even liked the soundtrack, which fit perfectly to create a sense of unease.
the plot is somewhat reminiscent of the recent (2003) re-make of the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". (Group of young people get trapped in an isolated area by a family of psychotics). Also had a few plot elements of "Hostel".
I thought the various fight / conflict scenes between the characters was well-done- the sound effects, level of violence, and misery was felt at the gut-level as a viewer.
My only complaint: the first part of the film (first 20 minutes) wasn't really needed, and could have been cut out of the film. Rest of the film flows very well.
pleasant surprise that horror fans will appreciate..

FUN-TIER(S)! by K. E. Fields (Los Angeles, CA USA)  5 Stars
October 13, 2009
If you don't speak or understand French fluently, have no fear. Do what I did and watch Frontier(s) without all of the distracting subtitles, and you'll enjoy the gore and cool action all the same. Yea, just turn the subtitles off altogether. You don't need words to explain what you'll be pleasantly shocked to see. You'll get it, trust me. Yet another wise buy from the folks at Amazon. Thanks.

BLOODY !!! by cbh  3 Stars
July 20, 2009
this is one of the better horrorfest movies . if I was just rating the horrorfest I would probably give this 5 stars but as an over all movie I have seen better horror films . if you wanna go on blood alone this is a 5 star movie but as far as it being scary I would give this a 1 star . it was a good movie and worth watching but there were some parts that drug on (like the first 30 min of the movie) and it was all subtitled . I can watch movies that are subtitled , some of them are very good (like Pan's Labrenth and the Orphanage) but for some reason it was if it went to fast and you payed more attention trying to keep up with the reading it took your focus away from some of the movie . I payed $7 for this movie and it was worth it . when you watch this movie just keep in mind that this is one of the horrorfest movies , if you like the horrorfest collections then you will probably like this .

Scary Sexy Horror by wsm (Southern California) 5 Stars
July 19, 2009
The best horror flick in a long time. Absolutely awesome scenes throughout the movie. Definitely one to see and own. Tons of blood and gore; Hot, sexy, believable characters (though it seemed the main character overplayed it a bit at the end)

But is it really horror? Or does it even matter? by wolfgang731 3 Stars
July 10, 2009
I enjoyed Frontier(s) just fine. I definitely found it entertaining and though sometimes a bit derivative, some of the ideas were solid and just enough off-kilter to add to the grotesquerie, but the one thing I wouldn't call this film is horror. To me Frontier(s) is no more horror than Hostel, which in my book is anything but. There seems to be a developing propensity from both audiences and industry folk to label anything that's ultra violent, horror. There's nothing remotely unsettling or frightening about this film. What we have is a solid thriller about a group of thugs that take advantage of civil unrest in Paris to commit some crimes and then leave the city, headed for the Belgian border and relative safety. They come upon a desolate hostel that happens to be run by family whose patriarch is an elderly Nazi looking for a concubine to be broodmare for his psychotic heir. What follows is nothing more than your standard torture porn that though ultra graphic, is rendered expertly. It's a very well crafted thriller of the cat and mouse variety but, to me, it's far from horror.
