11. Frontier(s)

There appears to be a new wave of cinema coming out of France. France used to be known for its dramas and their deliberate paces (i.e. boring and slow as all hell.) But something has been brewing. Maybe someone spiked the water supply or maybe all the French directors spent too much time watching Takashi Miike films, but whatever the cause, the effect is clear: French filmmakers are fucked up. Along with Haute Tension and Inside, Frontier(s) (which will be spelled as Frontiers from now on because its a pain in the ass to the whole (s) crap) is an ultraviolent gorefest that leaves a trail of dismembered bodies in its wake (literally).

As riots break out across France due to an election, a crew fresh off looting looks to find a way out of the city with their goods. When they arrive at a small, secluded inn in the countryside, they find out that they might have been safer with the rioters and police. What appears to be a quiet country village is really home to a family of neo-Nazis who are looking to continue their family bloodline. By boning. Without consent.

There are more gruesome scenes than you could shake a decapitated head at and, thankfully, it never gets too goofy like Miike's movies. I've seen TONS of movies, but there were still a few 'holy shit' scene sprinkled in here. If you are tired of the cliche, boring, made-for-14 year olds horror movies that Hollywood has been cranking out the past few years, do yourself and see Frontiers.

One of the neo-Nazis looks like the wrestler Triple H. Yup.
