Review of Frontier(s) (2007) by Kane L — 26 Nov 2012

It's rare to find a political horror film these days, especially finding a good one. Frontier(s) delivered a stunning message. It's like Skins gone wrong in France with Texas Chainsaw Hostel. Non of the characters were likeable because they were all scums to the society (No, you may be pregnant but the child is a bastard, so still no sympathy) The film makes wonder about this generation of French teenagers (Like how the Dreamers made me wonder about the teenagers in France in the 60s) The teenagers looked more like neo-nazis themselves... The characters only knew about cry and whine, couldn't defend their expandable lives. Overall, justice served them well for what they deserved.

The storyline is so slow paced, not evern kidding, one of the bad guys cried for mum... The insanity of the family was not explicitly expressed, only that most of them are real angry grunts. They really don't scare you, they are just, so angry. Off course I understand where the anger comes from, but still, it's not realistic enough.

It's not a disturbing film because of the excessive amount of gore, but the portrayal of what's left of humanity makes me sick. And I can't stand all the ugly as actors, but hey, no shame no gain. It's fun to watch, maybe just for once or twice. Ignore the poor acting, focus on the blood and political message, you'll have an enjoyable afternoon/night watching scums die.
