- Synopsis:
- It's the not-too-distant future, and the French presidential elections are a face-off between a conservative and an extreme right-wing candidate. The banlieues are ablaze. After a failed robbery, a gang of small-time crooks splits up and goes on the run from the police, some of them seeking refuge in a seedy hostel, deep in the middle of nowhere. Unbeknownst to the robbers, their hosts are a bunch of Neo-Nazi cannibals, who will go to any lengths to turn their fascist fantasies into a reality. Our young protagonists' ordeal begins and, subjected to all kinds of mutilation and torture, they learn the true meaning of universal suffrage.

A brutal French horror. - Frontiers review by CP Customer
A slick French horror in the same vein as ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ and ‘The Hills Have Eyes’, in which a gang of thieves flee the Paris riots and meet up at a hotel near the Luxemburg border which is owned by a family of Nazi cannibals led by a former SS officer named Le Von Geisler, where the men are butchered for meat and suitable women are used to produce offspring. After a slow opening 30 minutes the film soon turns into a storm of violence and gore which leads up to a thrilling final 20 minutes. If you enjoyed French horror like ‘Haute Tension’ and ‘Martyrs’, and don’t mind subtitles then this is well worth renting.

Nasty, Bloody and Violent Horror - Frontiers review by GI
This is one for devoted horror fans only. A very gory, blood splattered film no doubt influenced by The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) where a group of cocky teenagers arrive at a remote hotel only to find it's run by an inbred group of Neo nazis with a taste for human flesh. There's plenty of corpses in various states of decay and dismemberment and some quite nasty violence along the predictable journey to the somewhat ridiculous climax. Wrapped around all this is an attempt to say something about extreme right wing politics as the events are set off by huge riots in Paris caused by the election of an ultra right wing government and then you have the Nazi baddies and a holocaust imagery from the use of language, costume and the milieu of an old mine that looks like a nazi extermination camp. It's a pretentious and silly film and as I say for fans of this sort of thing only.
