Review of Frontier(s) (2007) by Gregory L — 13 May 2008

Frontier(s) is like Hostel meets Texas Chainsaw meets Apt. Pupil meets The People Under the Stairs. Its a uncomfortable watch. Its very violent and gory, the characters we are supposed to identify with are losers and the last act of the film the "main" character wanders around catatonic. I guess all she's been through one cant blame her for shaking and trembling the way she does. I didnt hate Frontier(s), its well made and sleazy fun. I just found that watching people get tortured and carved up for an 1 1/2 hrs to be torturous in its own right. I mean this film is brutal! And theres nothing here that we havnt seen a zillion times before.

This ones got it all....cannibals, backwoods frenchmen, nazi's, whores, cop shootouts and inbreeding. Its a hard one to recommend, but if you like the new wave of Torture horror, this is one of the better versions. I personally prefer a good horror film with a good plot and some real scares that arent for the sake of shock value.
