| QUOTE |
| Both [the Boussole and the Astrolabe] had been wrecked on the reefs [of Vanikoro, Solomon Islands in 1788], the Boussole first [cue sharks]. The Astrolabe was unloaded and taken apart. A group of men, probably the survivors of the Boussole, were massacred by the local inhabitants [cue jungle cannibals]. According to natives, surviving sailors built a two-masted craft from the wreckage of the Astrolabe, and left westward about 9 months later, but what happened to them is unknown. Also, two men, one a "chief" and the other his servant, had remained behind, surviving until 1823, three years before Dillon arrived. |

Hans (Joël Lefrançois) in Frontier(s)
"I wanted to make a kind of French Deliverance. You can't make a film like this with half-measures. It's full-on or nothing. This film is a smack in the face of boring, consensual French cinema. You can't make it with the brake on. After High Tension and Maléfique, it was time for another film that socks the audience on the chin. A film that will slap audiences around for 90 minutes so that they realize that we can make this genre in France, too!" - Xavier Gens
Frontier(s) has been added to this year's After Dark Horrorfest line-up...
