That was an excellent one.
Perfect cast and a good story
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
I gave this title 5 stars only, because it was bloody and violent (witch are expected from a horror movie by my standards) but to be frank it was rather a 2-3.What made me watch were the highly panegyric reviews it got. Sadly, after the firs hour or so made me realize I was badly thrown off.The script is a mess, almost as the writer was just putting it together without proof-reading it. The start and the middle act is poorly connecting with the rest of the material, and the time jump right before the final scenes is just baffling. But my main problem was the totally unrelated first 20 minutes, all that could have been solved in 5 minutes or less. And also the many time-robbing and often tedious scenes just made it too long and lumpish. At least 1/3 of the film should have never made it out of the editing room.I don't mind the stupid mistakes on anyone's side, as this is the way it works in many horror flicks. But this film does not deserve the attention and appreciation people grant it. This is not even as cruel as I hoped so, most of the killings, and deaths were seen at least a thousand times and there is not any surprise or new edge, it feels rather like some mixture of Hostel, The Devil's Rejects, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Død snø.Comparing this film to The Martyrs, À l'intérieur, Eden Lake, Salo or any deeply cutting flick is just a simple insult. Sadly this film lacks the element of 'wit' the other examples have.This may be one of the better French horrors but it is simply not a remarkable one. And I guess I won't be remembering it in about a week...
A Extreme French horror action film from 2007 directed by Xavier Gans the director of 'Hitman' and 'X is for XXL' from 'ABCs of Death' and that movie is 'Frontière(s)' This film, Frontière(s) is a truly extreme experience a better example of new french extremity than something like 'Ils' or 'Inside'. It's a very well made film lots of fast paced action and gore along with a TCM-esque setting and look to it. its a really brutal film just in your face torture and gore. The acting and writing is good the camera-work isn't horrible but it does a shaky cam thing in every other scene making hard to see what is going on, some people will hate that, I don't much. Other than that I have no complaints.Often called a disturbing film I can't really say its disturbing, I could see why, maybe if you haven't seen a lot of torture porn movies like I have you might find it disturbing but to be on the disturbing scale from one to ten. One being not disturbing and ten being beyond disturbing, 'Frontière(s)' is a 4/10 on the disturbing scale.On the gore meter from one to ten. One being something like 'The Corpse Grinders' and ten being something like 'Braindead'. 'Frontière(s)' is a 7 or 8/10 an all around extremely violent and gory movie full of torture and savagery not for the faint of heart or those with a weak stomach.I really liked the film its a ultra-violent little horror flick with a bad attitude and even worse gore 9/10 just really an all around awesome as well as highly recommended splatter/exploitation/naziploitation/hixploitation/slasher horror film worth a watch if you can handle it Similar films: 'Haute Tension', 'Martyrs', 'Inside'
It starts off with rioting in the streets of Paris, with cars burning, and police battling hordes of protesters hurling Molotov cocktails at them. Three men are in a shootout with the cops and manage to escape to a building where a badly wounded comrade is holding up with a three months pregnant young woman named Yasmin. They venture off in two cars and Yasmin's brother dies at a hospital. The first three escape to a boarding house/farm in a rural area and meet two women who take them in, and in the ultimate show of hospitality, show them to their rooms and immediately have sex with them. The good times don't last as other family members are not so friendly. It turns out that they supplement their diet with human flesh. The boys end up as a food source and Yasmin soon shows up for more good times. The leader on the French Manson's decides that she would be perfect wife material for his son. Along the way, we get plenty of brutality, including a guy cooked alive with steam. Yasmin proves to be one tough cookie, as she fights the crazies for a survival of the fittest. Karina Testa is very good as as Karina, and the story is decent, with better than average cinematography; which for this genre, makes it a 6/10.
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.
