What kind of horror movie is "Haute tension"?

Is it just like "Texas chainsaw massacre"?

Just finished watching, really enjoyed it. The effects guys did a superb job.

Its wants to be more than a slasher but its not.....I have more respect for stupid slashers like "Valentine" and "Urban Legend 2" cause they not pretending beeing deep and spesial....

Haute Tension (High Tension)
 

Besides the plot holes, I think this is an amazing modern horror movie


The movie is just so dark and violent, I love it


Thoughts on it?

I'm gonna try to keep this spoiler free, but come on...see it already, it's a gorgous horror flick but...

I hated this film.

It isn't a matter of plot holes, it's a matter of dishonest filmmaking. The action set pieces are impossible, given their framework. Everything seen is a lie, not a clever trick or an interesting bit of filmmaking - which it could have been, but wasn't.

I totally understand why people do like this film, but I ain't one of them. I just cannot get over how the ending completely invalidated everything in this film.

The gorgeousness of the film was enough for me to forgive the lousy plot.

I like the movie.

Aja is my favorite modern horror movie director. I absolutely loved this film, and i can forgive the ending.

yah i didnt care either....

having been a horror film fan a lot of years - i've been lied to in far worse ways than this ..

i didnt feel insulted at the end - i enjoyed the ride too much.

90% of the other horror i've seen didnt provide even a fraction of the quality this one did.

i sometimes can be a stickler for rules/plot devices, etc ... but if the film is this good - i can overlook almost anything.

Despite the ending, I loved this one.

I loved this film. The plot has huge holes, but it kind of reminds me of Argentos Inferno, only it has a more coherent story.

I liked this film - the atmosphere was well created, and it managed to keep its pace for most of the film. I think it was better on second viewing - I noticed things I didn't notice on first viewing, and I had accepted the ending...

I don't know, it was a beautiful movie but the plot holes combined with the fact that it was almost a carbon copy of the beginning of Intensity really turned me off. I'd probably watch it again just for some of the gorgeous, gore laden scenes.

Really good movie in my opinion, and I did not feel cheated with the ending. There were (small) clues thrown in the beginning.

I really liked it too. IMO it was one of the better movies I have seen out in a while. Although I will admit I haven't seen a lot of the movies all you members post about. Anyhow, the ending was a bit of a copout but I didn't care, as someone else said I just enjoyed the ride. Don't get me wrong I love cheesey 80's horror flicks but I rather watch an ending like this then watch totally unrealistic cheese. IMO someone could probably be so delusional as she was, who knows. Fun movie, good gore and wierd shit nonetheless!

hot french chick with a chainsaw - i'm in love!

Actually I think it was a masonary cut off saw. Could be wrong...
