Core cast: Karina Testa (Yasmine), Chems Dahmani (Farid), Adel Aurelien Wiik (Alex), David Saracino (Tom), Jean-Pierre Jorris (Von Geisler)
Memorable moment: The scene with the pincers and the Achilles' tendon.
Curious Fact: The only movie in all five Horrorfest: 8 Movies To Die For festivals that has been given an NC-17 by the MPAA (and was subsequently excluded from the festival and released for a theatrical season instead).

Horrorphile’s two cents: Takes you to the edge of comfortable horror, then slaps you hard in the face, and asks, “Had enough?” For the True Believers the answer is a resounding “Give it to me! I can handle it!” Xavier Gens has delivered a sleazy, sordid, gruesome, ghastly … and sensational piece of work. Frontière(s) is the ticket, now cross the line.
