High Tension - gtafreak - 05-18-2005

I saw the commercial for this today and I have to say it looked awsome. It\'s something about this girl who saw this guy kill someone and now he\'s after her. I can\'t wait for this to come out. It looks gory as hell to. I saw the guy holding a 2x4 with bobwire around it and and axe so I am hoping it\'s gonna rock. I did not catch when it is coming out but I just looked at imdb.com and it came out over in europe in 2003. The French version.

Here is a review from some guy.

This movie was so close to being my premature best of the year, It was just a straight up Stalk and slash movie, It is a rare thing for me to find a movie that makes me squirm and get as excited as this did, It had everything, No motive serial killers, terribly splattery original deaths (The first one for example!) And chase scenes etc. Then it got too clever, The makers obviously didn\'t have enough faith in the picture the way it was up to that point and tried to take it one step beyond for the ending, for me that was a lotta steps back! It somehow made all that came before it not as great as it had seemed, And most definitely will ruin any future viewings of this film.

My advice, DO NOT buy this due to word of mouth, please rent it or even see it at the cinema if you like, Horror fans wont regret it, I didn\'t, Like I say, It was fantastic to a point, but that point, just cant be climbed for me. so close to perfection......... so close

I\'d have to agree with that review. I saw this film last year and it\'s nothing short of amazing, but the ending does leave you scratching your head. I don\'t want to give anything away so I won\'t say any more about it.

My advice is see this film regardless of the ending because every single minute leading up to it is spectacular...raw, visceral, and a complete thrill ride. The only problem is that the gore in the theatrical version will be cut down a little. I have the uncut version and I can only hope the US DVD release will be uncut as well. I do know what parts were cut, and thougniut won\'t affect the integrity of the film, it\'s unfortunate that they had to cut it at all...

Anyway, everyone should see this film...it\'s a straight up slasher that is relentless from the get-go.

Awesome I can\'t wait to see this! I\'m going to have to check this out, cause I love my slashers! Smile

Hell yeah, this movie kicked ass! I loved it. If you have a Multi-Region DVD player you should pick up the UK R2 release by Optimum. It\'s great (and uncut).

I\'d call the ending anything but "too clever" try cliched or demented.
I own the french(also uncut) maaad gore. Does the us version still have the felatio with the severed head?

The us version hasn\'t come out yet.

And after hearing what you other guys said about this movie I am definately seeing it.
