"Although the sheer ferocity of 'Frontier(s)' is almost something to be admired, its tactlessness and extremely derivative story are not."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
A. J. Hakari
"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."

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
C-
"
Frontier(s)
' politics are so blatant...that they're insignificant; writer-director Gens is far more concerned with fashioning a pointless exercise in gore."
Cinepinion
Henry Stewart
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
3/5
"
Frontier(s)
is just an average horror film with some above average gore."
Mike Bracken's Horror Films
Mike Bracken
4/5
"A patently over-the-top piece of gore-drenched survival horror. Very familiar but very fun."
Cinematical
Scott Weinberg
2.5/5
