"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."  Filmcritic.com  Chris Cabin

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

1.5/4
"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
