‘Quirky tragicomedy… body horror is offset by high

degree of camp… the broadly drawn characterisation is anchored in one woman’s psychotic legacy’ - Anton Bitel

‘Fascinatingly weird… brought to life with a wonderful score and an overall creepy vision that builds tension while grossing us out in equal measure. A little black humour and a killer female lead’ - Wonderfully Weird and Horrifying

Make a date with May – for an unforgettable, uncomfortable, weird and wild experience. Lucky McKee’s wickedly wry body horror featuring outstanding performances, stunning cinematography and a stellar soundtrack, is back for a new release this July. Second Sight Films has it all sewn up with a brand-new Limited Edition and Standard Edition Blu-ray version, both complete with a fantastic slew of special features.

Meet May Dove Candy, the socially awkward veterinary assistant, who was bullied as a child for her lazy eye, and has developed an obsession with perfection. Desperate for connection, May struggles to make friends and is desperately searching for a perfect boyfriend.

Then she meets Adam, the boy with the flawless hands… could he be the one? But the path of love never runs smoothly, especially with May’s inability to connect with people. As her dream of perfection unravels, she becomes increasingly detached from reality and descends into the depths of depravity.

The brand-new Limited Edition is set for release on July 24 and is presented in a stunning box with new artwork by Bella Grace, alongside a 70 page book, with new essays. Both editions come complete with a host of brilliant extras including new audio commentaries and new interviews with the stars, director, composer and editors and much more, see full details below.

FRONTIER(S) 

Limited Edition Blu-ray Box Set 

& 

Standard Edition Blu-ray  

arrive July 24th 2023 

‘Xavier Gens debut is a bludgeoning, bloody trawl  

through the tropes of survival horror, with a strong  

political subtext’ - Anton Bitel 

‘The real surprise of Frontier(s) is that this creepy,  

bloody contemporary gross-out also has some ideas,  

visual and otherwise, wedged among its  

sanguineous drips’ - The New York Times 

‘Despite all its primal brutality, Frontier(s) is a  

deep, intelligent and very political movie’ - ESplatter

‘Blood, lots of blood… gore-soaked horror from across the Channel… Brutalising audience with fascist  iconography and some nihilistic torture porn… a solid piece of abattoir exploitation’  - BBC Online 

Dare you cross Frontier(s)? The shockingly violent and darkly disturbing horror from Xavier Gens(Hitman, Gangs of London)  in his 2007 directorial debut, is set for a brand-new Limited Edition Blu-ray Box set release alongside a Standard Edition version from experts in the field Second Sight Films on July 24 2023. 

Shocking and thrilling audiences and offending (some) critics on its original release, French helmer Gens’ blood-fueled,  brutal feature is set for a stunning new Limited Edition outing. The box set is presented in a rigid slipcase with new artwork  by James Neal and a 70 page book featuring new essays and comes complete with a bucket load of special features. These  will be available on both versions and include: an audio commentary with Zoë Rose Smith and Kelly Gredner, new interviews  with cast and crew, the 'Making of’, a short film and more! Please see full list below. 

It’s a time of severe political unrest in Paris, an extreme right-wing party has come to power and violent protests soon turn  into full scale riots. As the streets burn, a group of young reprobates use the chaos to their advantage, robbing anything  and everything they can. But as they get in too deep, tragedy strikes and with the police on their tail, they’re forced to split  up and flee the city. 

Their situation goes from bad to worse as they end up holed up in a remote countryside guesthouse, where they come face  to face with a strange clan, the Von Geislers – a ruthlessly and violently oppressive father, his fiercely sexual daughters,  and brutish sons – who soon reveal themselves as neo-Nazis. The debauched family’s fantasy of starting a new Aryan race  could soon be realized as Yasmine (Karina Testa, Budapest), could be the key to the fresh bloodline they’ve been waiting  for. Can she and her friends survive the human abattoir, or will she become 'one of the family'? 

Enter the depraved and debauched Frontier(s) for a twisted, stomach-churning, thrilling horror experience.
