Frontier(s)

The French have been at the forefront of cinema since the beginning and they certainly haven't left out the horror genre. Lately I have been watching a lot of French horror films, and they have been hitting the spot. They not only bring the shock and scares, but tie it all in with some great stories.

Frontier(s) is one of those films.

When it starts, it doesn't really feel like a horror movie. Shows a group of young adults in France during some riots. And ends in a totally different place you never see coming. These young adults flee the city, on the run from authorities and the riots caused by a current political election. They stop at an inn in the middle of the countryside. This is where things start to get strange, and more dangerous than the riots in the city.

Things get weird pretty quick, then they get suddenly violent. This is where it all gets pretty damn crazy. I don't want to give much about that away because it's a fun ride. However, know that it involves a herd of mutant children, a Nazi, cannibalism, pigs, a table saw, one melting person, and a hell of a lot of blood. Frontier(s) is an interesting and intense film, and certainly does it's job to entertain and shock. I enjoyed this one.
