I heard about Frontier(s) a long time ago but never really understood what it was about. From the preview I could tell that there were many riots and I assumed it was about something political.
I haven't been able to find this movie to rent anywhere. My friend and I tried to find it in the video store the other day so I looked it up online today. I now know why video stores don't carry it!
And I was right about the political background...kind of. The beginning of the movie starts with five "friends" who are up to no good. They have a bag of cash and are trying to escape the city, we assume for political reasons since there is a seemingly unwanted election happening at the time. One of them is shot and dies in a hospital. The rest try to get to a hostel. Two make it there before the other two and chaos ensues.
You never really find out what the five of them were up to when they were in the city but you know it's illegal since they are trying to escape with a huge bag of money. The rest of the movie doesn't really have much to do with politics at all.
This movie is kind of like Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets Hostel. TCM because they encounter a family of crazed lunatics, Hostel because they are kidnapped from a hostel in a different country and the family uses the hostel to lure people in. The movie has nothing to do with either of these other movies though. It's something totally fresh, which is great because it's really difficult to find a slasher movie that isn't like all other slasher flicks.
If you don't mind subtitles, you should for sure watch it.
Oh you Frenchies and your horror....
