Almost done watching this. It's ....I don't know. I don't want to use the word intense. I'm not sure what word I want to use. Instead I'll explain it.
Let's say Hostel wasn't made by Eli roth. I like that Roth appreciates humor and campy films, but Frontier(s) is not that. Let's say the Saw movies were...well, just made better. So somewhere in the middle of those two movies, but with European sensibilities. The kind where Europeans don't have test markets or draw lines about what they can or can't do in film.
So basically it's like Hostel, but uses a family a la Texas chainsaw Massacre, gets all the humor out of the way in the first 10 minutes, and just takes itself and the story very seriously.
I don't want to say it's realistic, but I think if people were this crazy and did these things, it'd be like this, not like Hostel.
That's the best I'm able to sum this up.
Now there's Nazis in it.
I'm loving this movie, and the serious nature makes it easier to swallow than something like Hostel.
Oh! I figured out the term. It feel 'Natural.'
