Frontier(s) (2007): Thumbs Up!

I saw that this movie has a decent rating and good reviews in IMDB. Since then, I was very eager to watch it. I’ve watched the trailer at YouTube and it makes me more excited. So, when I was able to get a copy, I watch it right away. I was happy that it was what I have expected and I really like it!

If you are the kind of person with a weak heart and stomach, you shouldn’t watch it, if you insist, make sure that you have prepared yourself. This movie is gory and morbid! It even seems to stop my heart for several seconds as I’m waiting for what will happen. This happens to me for three to four scenes I guess. I am a horror fan and only few movies were able to do that to me. I was happy that it satisfies my cravings for a best horror movie. I would even suggest this to my mother who is more a critic than me. She actually hates the movie the Dark Skies - which I thought was a great movie.

Let us go back the Frontier(s)… the funny thing is, at first, I thought that it was a zombie movie. I was even in that mind set as the movie begins. Even though there aren’t any zombies were showed, I was drawn with it. I think that it has a fresh concept. It was like an action movie at first and it turns out to be a horror movie as the story goes. That is what I love about it. Here’s a confession, when I watch movies of other genre, I always think of what the horror twist can possibly work for it. And that was exactly what the movie Frontier(s) has given me. And because of that, I can say thumbs up! ;)

The movie is about a gang of four young thieves who drive their way from Paris to escape from the Police and the riots caused by a political election. They separated ways while they are in the city and decided to meet at a motel. The group found out that they are staying with a dangerous family that later on tries to take their lives one by one. They also discover something evil about that place and the deformed children hidden in the tunnel. I wouldn’t spoil more about the story, but I think the family I was talking about is eating the people that they kill.
