Directed by Xavier Gens
The banlieues of Paris are burning, and as a young girl from the slums attempts to elude police by hiding out at a sprawling inn near the Luxembourg border she becomes locked in a vicious battle for survival against a group of Neo-Nazi fanatics intent on using her to start a new Aryan brotherhood. As the votes cast in the latest election are tallied, it quickly becomes apparent that an extreme right-wing party has been elected into power by a wide margin. In the aftermath of the announcement, the streets fill with protestors and riots erupt all throughout the country. Yasmina is a poor girl who has never known a life outside of the ghetto, and she sees the riots as an opportunity to stage a series of smash-and-grab robberies that could provide her with the money needed to improve her lot in life. After rounding up a few pals and robbing a few businesses under the cover of the chaos, Yasmina and her friends are pursued by the police and forced to split up. Before they part ways, however, they all agree to regroup at an inn just outside of Luxembourg. The proprietors of the inn are the Von Geisler clan. Led by a tyrannical, jackbooted patriarch, the Von Geisler's are a curious lot who at first appear to be stuck in the past. But the Von Geisler's aren't just eccentric, they are devoted Neo-Nazis with a twisted fantasy of starting a new master race - and they have chosen Yasmina as their Aryan Eve. Now, in order for Yasmina to escape a grim fate as a fascistic breeding machine, she and her friends must fight for their lives against the brutish Von Geisler boys and their savage sisters in a vicious battle that will transform this once peaceful inn into a blood soaked abattoir. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

"Frontiers is a period piece with the presidential elections of 2002 playing out in the background. Understanding at this point, France has a lot of social unrest when it comes to Naziism, and it finally comes out of the woodwork in 2002 when the country almost elects Jean-Marie Le Pen, a French nationalist leader bordering on Neo-Naziism. So rioting erupts in the country and Yasmine, her brother and 3 friends, all from the slums, take it upon them " [More]

"[quote user="digitalconquest"] Argento is one of my favorite directors and he definitely has his moments of gore, but usually when I think of his movies, gore isn't one of the first things that jump out. I usually think style, atmosphere and substance. Mark [quote user="Macabre_FilmNut"] Wow, no one has listed any of Argento works. Maybe there not that gory but they do have there points, such as Tenebre (1982) I know I keep mentioning this, but there is a new director " [More]
