Your Reviews
Not a fan of scary movies but this is practically art! The twist was great and like nothing I\'ve seen before.
Saw it on IFC last night (8-21-2011), right after another movie I never saw, \"The Decent). High Tension was a surprise, gorier than \"Hoste\", with a \"Fightclub\" twist. And... it had commercials. If it\'s that bad, great bad, with commercials, can\'t wait to see it on DVD. Fantastic movie, ultra-violent, and smart. Full Review
