Watching Yasmine’s ordeal is ghastly, but as she finds her inner strength, she proves herself a fine candidate for the part of final girl.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 24, 2023

Landing somewhere between Delicatessen and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, this neo-nazi-cannibal bloodfest still possesses an impressive, distinctive spirit of its own.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 17, 2023

Frontier(s) wields such power by illustrating how the boundaries of the body are horrifically violated by politics and ideology.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 1, 2019

It's not just the characters that lack humour; the film itself seems to forget the parts of it which are entertaining.

Despite all its primal brutality, Frontier(s) is a deep, intelligent and very political movie.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 17, 2008

As a political allegory, it has no substance. As a genre piece, it is derivative, but it takes from the best and brings it together reasonably well.

| May 22, 2008

Frontier(s) still finds a way to mine the past while staying rooted in the present. It may seem recognizable, but it's a well made and effective awareness

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 16, 2008

Nasty, brutish but--pace Thomas Hobbes--insufficiently short gorefest...nothing more than an exercise in sadism.

| Original Score: F | May 12, 2008

Though neither subtle nor particularly original, Gens' spin on the meat-movie classic has both nightmarish energy to spare.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 9, 2008

The real surprise of Frontier(s) is that this creepy, bloody contemporary gross-out also has some ideas, visual and otherwise, wedged among its sanguineous drips.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 9, 2008

A relentlessly ugly and derivative reworking of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

Full Review | Original Score: C | May 8, 2008

It's as relentless as it is hateful, hammily directed and derivative of the dreariest slop in contemporary American horror cinema.

Full Review | May 8, 2008

has neither the weight nor the ingenuity to make a solid impression past its unorthodox dispatching techniques.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 7, 2008

Perhaps it's because I see so many by-the-numbers horror movies but when a director is willing to go as far off the rails as Gens tries to go in Frontier(s), it goes a long way with me.

| May 7, 2008

Explicit in Frontier(s) is its maker's belief that nothing should be left to the imagination.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 5, 2008

This film will not be easily forgotten or shaken off, I guarantee this is one for the ages%u2026 you are about to enter a new frontier of horror.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 17, 2008

...an entertaining horror flick that benefits from the inclusion of several gleefully over-the-top kill sequences.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 3, 2007

Can a movie be an adrenalin-fueled, blood-gushing thrill ride and still be as boring as dirt? Apparently.
