- French college students, Marie and Alex, head to Alex's secluded farmhouse in hopes of studying for their exams without distractions. While settling in, a man breaks into the home and brutally murders Alex's family while Marie tries to hide herself from the killer. When the killer binds and kidnaps Alex, Marie follows him, attempting saving her friend and, along the way, running into some dangerous obstacles.
- Best friends, Marie and Alexia, are driving out to a peaceful rural weekend to visit Alexia's parents in their secluded cottage, unbeknownst to them that a deranged and utterly sadistic killer is prowling the area, hacking and slashing for his perverse pleasure. As a result, in the dead of night, a brutal massacre will follow where none shall be spared except for the helpless Alexia who will end up as the madman's hostage. Inevitably, with Marie as the sole survivor, a sinister cat-and-mouse game will soon begin, as the young woman will do anything in her power to save her friend. But is this the end of the nightmare?
- I'm not a fan of slasher movies, but this one is very well done. Before commenting on the plot I have to say Cecile de France's performance is really a cut above the usual. I've seen her in a couple of other movies and she was good but I thought she was outstanding in this one.<br/><br/>Spoilers below: I watched the film already knowing what the big plot twist at the end is. Even knowing, I really didn't see any clues. In fact there are several things that would make the big reveal seem impossible.<br/><br/>First, where did the truck come from? Did Marie drive it there before she arrived with Alex? How did she leave it there then go back and ride with Alex? Did she just find it equipped with chains, gags, and shotgun? If she outfitted and pre-positioned the truck, what's the deal with handing Alex a knife to protect herself? Second, the car chase couldn't have occurred at all, yet Marie has injuries from crashing the car throughout the end of the movie.<br/><br/>Those are a cheat, as is showing the surveillance camera in the gas station with the male killer being taped. Still, very effective particularly if watched without knowing what's going to happen.
- This movie marks a return to truly great horror film making.A refreshing breeze in a time of predictable remakes and boring ghost stories . The title promises "HIGH TENSION" , and it truly delivers it with a driving force . From the moment the switchblade wielding maniac first appears right up to the end credits this film will have you on the edge of your seat and chewing your fingernails until you bleed. From its dark and eerie cinematography and chilling music to its superb acting and intensely realistic violence and gore this movie is a true modern horror masterpiece. I do agree with a lot of critics and movie buffs that "High Tension" is a film with quite a few plot holes and unexplained directions but its not trying to be an Oscar winning epic , it is simply a film made to scare and shock the hell out of you and it will do just that.Excellent stuff not for the faint hearted.
- The latest reshuffling of "Chainsaw" tropes.
- "Sara 'Perche' Ti Amo" by Ricchi & Poveri. "Runaway Girl" by U. Roy. "New Born" by Muse. "Superstar" by Sonic Youth, which is a cover of "Superstar" by The Carpenters. You can view the film in three ways:<br/><br/>(1) U.S. English Language Dubbed Version - everything is dubbed in English.<br/><br/>(2) U.S. Unrated Version - half of the film is subtitled, and half of the film is dubbed (which is how it was released in theaters). <br/><br/>(3) Original French Language Director's Cut Version - everything is in French.<br/><br/>The film itself is the same no matter which version you choose. The only problem with choosing the Original French Language Director's Cut Version is that the subtitles are not entirely accurate. There were lines added in the U.S. English Dubbed Version, so if you choose to view the film in French, the English subtitles will sometimes display lines that are not being said by anyone. For the US theatrical release, the film was rated R by the MPAA. To achieve this, the film had to be cut heavily. More than one minute of violence is missing in different scenes.<br/><br/>The Korean DVD is censored as well. Nearly 1 minute is missing in this version. Yes--it's loosely based on the novel Intensity by Dean Koontz. A soundtrack album featuring François-Eudes Chanfrault's electronic score was supposed to be released by Thrive Records in the United States, but it was ultimately canceled. On the composer's official Web site (http://personal.computer.free.fr/web/) a link is available to stream "Faustina Mauricio Mercedes Part IV." If you dig deeply enough through the coding, however, about 30 minutes of audio from the score can be downloaded. The 2005 US DVD of High Tension had to be retouched before its release. However, the content that had to be removed from the movie was not of a violent nature, as one might suspect. Instead, the Jack Daniel's logo was removed every time it could be seen. Unfortunately, we do not know why this happened and whether it was someone from Lionsgate or someone from Jack Daniel's who stepped in. a5c7b9f00b
