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.

I gotta say, this movie was one hell of a gore fest! Watching this movie, will make you wanna puke. Just about beginng to end of this movie is just plane disturbing. I've never seen a movie this messed up!! It's probebly one of the most bloody movies you'll ever see. Even if your in the horror movie mood and your up for watching a scary movie....dont rent this, it's way to much for you to handle.
