Frontière(s) (2007, France)
Is France the new Asia when it comes to horror? There certainly have been some great horror films coming from France in the last several years … but I doubt that “Frontière(s)” is gonna sway you towards France being “it” right now.

Don’t get me wrong … “Frontière(s)” works well enough for a horror film. But it owes soooooooo much to the remake of “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” that I couldn’t help but make tons of comparisons while watching it.

*Spoilers Ahead*

1. Backwoods France
2. Creepy Family (this time with a hotel)
3. Cannibals!!!
4. Lone Female Left to Battle the Psychos

*End Spoilers*

“Frontière(s)” has some nice set pieces here and there and is very, very violent. I guess you could apply the “torture porn” label to it … though it is much better than it’s silly American counterparts.
