"a bludgeoning, bloody trawl through the cliches of survival horror, with a strong contemporary political subtext - and as with any good barbecue, there is plenty of red sauce, and absolutely nothing has been left underdone."
Channel 4 Film
Anton Bitel
3.5/5
"
Frontier(s)
still finds a way to mine the past while staying rooted in the present. It may seem recognizable, but it's a well made and effective awareness"
PopMatters
Bill Gibron
2.5/5
"has neither the weight nor the ingenuity to make a solid impression past its unorthodox dispatching techniques."

2.5/4
"An entertaining horror flick that benefits from the inclusion of several gleefully over-the-top kill sequences."

"Explicit in
Frontier(s)
is its maker's belief that nothing should be left to the imagination."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
"As a political allegory, it has no substance. As a genre piece, it is derivative, but it takes from the best and brings it together reasonably well."
DVD Review
Felix Gonzalez Jr.
F
"Nasty, brutish but--pace Thomas Hobbes--insufficiently short gorefest...nothing more than an exercise in sadism."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
3/6
"Retro shocks for horror buffs, and not a second-string TV starlet in sight!"
Time Out New York
Maitland McDonagh
2.5/4
"Though neither subtle nor particularly original, Gens' spin on the meat-movie classic has both nightmarish energy to spare."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
4/5
"A patently over-the-top piece of gore-drenched survival horror. Very familiar but very fun."
Cinematical
Scott Weinberg
2.5/5
