Frontiere(s)

Get out while you still can
With looting and rioting happening in Paris, a group of hoodlums flees to the countryside.  They find themselves besieged by a family of neo-nazis.  This film was actually not as bad as it sounds, or at least not as bad as it could have been.  Think Hostel, but in French.  Having seen The Divide also by Xavier Gens, I had an inkling of what kind of film this would be.  Some of the visuals were very striking.  Gens managed to create a fair amount of tension.  The story is decent, but quite predictable.  Worth a watch if you like horror flicks.
