DVD Reviews of Frontier(s)
DVD Review: Takes up Where Hostel Left Off
Summary: 4 Stars
If you thought Hostel was scary, or over the top, wait until you see THIS! It goes beyond Hostel (or Hostel II). A bit slow at first, the action picks up in the middle and never stops. Only for those with a strong stomach.DVD Review: Horror the way it oughtta be
Summary: 5 Stars
I've loved horror films since I was 5 (that's going on 50 years now), and this film has the cold-fingers-grabbing-your-gut effect that is sadly missing from so many contemporary horror films. And I'm not talking about torture or sadism; though our villains are not very nice people, this film does not engage in the pleasure-in-cruelty that makes certain films (like Audition) unwatchable to me. It's certainly gory, but it's authentic, thoughtful and believable horror, with characters who aren't cyphers. If this is typical of French work, I'm definitely going to be seeing more French horror films.
Ms. Testa out-Jolies Angelina Jolie in her beautiful-yet-grittily-real depiction of Yasmin, the fugitive who is the film's protagonist. With her beautiful and vulnerable face and Gallic passion of her character, Testa is amazing in what may well be the most physically demanding role I've ever seen an actress play. You have to see the film. It's not that she does a lot of stunt work, though there is enough of that. But you can feel the adrenaline coursing through her veins during this film and that's what makes her so effective.
There is also legitimate creepiness in the pregnant daughter of the house, who is mad past all help and who tries to "help" Yasmin understand the family's plans for her.
If you like horror films, this is quite an effective one.
DVD Review: Not the best French Horror
Summary: 3 Stars
But not bad either. I just didn't understand the whole Nazi angle to this movie. It did nothing to add to the movie, and perhaps made it seem more like a farce. It would have been better without it, in my opinion. It's Still worth a view if you like gory French Horror though. DVD Review: Frontier(s)
Summary: 5 Stars
This horror movie stuck to the horror genre. The French totally knows how to make movies. If you are a true horror fan you will love this movie. Although it is subtitled, after a while you don't even think about it. The action and suspense carries the movie. Again, I suggest this movie to anyone that is a true horror fan. If not, DO NOT get this movie. Very graphic and violent.DVD Review: Truly interesting - even with subtitles!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love horror - and this certainly is! Even having to read the subtitles, it's absolutely excellent. The depravity is surreal! I think it's even better that the other French movie I like - Calvaire. The young girl, who's a member of the family, well, she's just great in the film. If you could imagine something like this happening, you'd expect a person to act exactly like her in this film. I can't really tell you much more - other than, if you like horror with a little gore - you'll like this.
