High Tension **spoiler**
 

**spoiler**

So did High Tension make you panicky like some of the critics said it would? I didnt like that movie all that much. I think Im getting tired of the "schizophrenic band wagon" these writers are on. Secret Window, Hide and Seek, and this one. I dont consider the first two horror but these are the ones that come to mind because they are recent, are there any others?

****SPOILERS WARNING****






Identity, Fight Club, etc.

yea it's really getting to be over-done. i felt like a lot of the High Tension plot was taken from the book Intensity by Dean Koontz. The ending really took a lot away from the movie for me.

SPOILER:
You should write SPOILER just in case so you wont ruin it for people who havent seen it. What was so wrong with the movie? Even if you may not fully agree with the ending, it still had great acting, plenty of gore, lot of tension, etc so one can still enjoy it. Everyone that I talked to LOVED it as so did I. Please dont mention Hide and Seek and Secret Window with High Tension. Hide and Seek was so damn predictable after the first 20 mins and High Tension wasnt. I dont think anyone saw that plot coming from High Tension. As for Secret Window, one of the worst movies I ever seen. Pathetic movie! As for Fight Club and Identity, I enjoyed both those movies a lot.

Dont you get tired of the same ol..... killer goes after good guy, good guy kills killer and good guy lives happily ever after type of movie? There are too many horror movies which lack good plot and High Tension delivers a good unpredictable plot unlike the crap like Hide and Seek and Secret Window that you mentioned.

spoiler-sorry about that, thanks for the correction, im new to this thing im sure you've noticed :).

Hight Tension-I just didnt like it. Some movies just dont do it for me and this was one of them. It started good but there were so many holes in the plot that I lost interest, I didnt care what happened next, I was just waiting for the "guyish" chick to eat it. Dont get me wrong, I love a good slasher/gore flick and this one had some cool scenes, just didnt like the plot. Secret Window and Hide and Seek didnt do it for me either, I guess Im also tired of the same ending in these movies "pshycho killer turns out to be the main character who is a schizo killer".

Fight Club and Identity-I have both of these on DVD. Both very good, completely forgot about them but good movies.

Don't get me wrong...in all, I enjoyed the movie. I thought a lot of it was very creative(and that says a lot these days since every movie that comes out in the states is just a remake of some beat-to-death plot). I'm just saying that using that trite ending took a lot away from it for me. Maybe in France it's not as over-done...who knows.


******SPOILER WARNING*********


Love that buzzsaw through the windshield at the end though...fucking amazing! :D

Yeah, Ive read in other reviews when it came to the states it was butchered, a lot of the movie was taken out. Too bad we cant see a directors cut, those are always the shit! But the ending would still be the same...

jsut bought it today. cant wait to see it.

there is no director's cut, you could buy the unrated version

I think this is a flat out amazing film.

SPOILER

I love the part where the Alex's dads cranium is shoved through the railing of the staircase..then taken off by the dresser being pushed straight through and the blood just squirts for a good 5 seconds..

But the end felt kind of void. How did the main character find the truck and all the weapons and so forth..and how was she with Alex when her little brother was getting shot..when it was actually her doing the shooting? Doesnt make sense

Good movie none the less
