Director Alexandre Aja

[BloodyGerry]

I'm a big fan of Piranha 3D and The Hills Have Eyes. Maybe my favorite element of Alexander Aja's filmmaking, which is prominent in both of these 2 films - the cinematography is awesome. Looking forward to seeing what more Aja can create, especially with the kind of 3D technology he used in Piranha. I know a lot of people seem to hate on excessive use of 3D, but if it can be used effectively, I'm a huge supporter. And just as a general comment, I think Horror film is the perfect subject for the use of 3D camera work.

But anyways… I came across this article at Arrow in the Head about Alexander Aja. I have not seen what the article calls his best film, i.e. "Haute Tension." Anyone who has seen it, care to comment?

WARNING POSSIBLE SPOILERS

Haute Tension has a "shocking twist" in it that I felt was a downright cheat. It's a real shame because if the movie had been straightforward with the plot, it would have been great. As it was, the film tried to be too clever and completely failed.

Its an excellent film but I do agree that the 'twist' was unnecessary..
