i liked haute tension but i think to really appreciate it you've got to know a little about french culture and history - especially with the insane lesbian thing going on

i'm a bit surprised at how negative rod was - the 'unreliable narrator' trick is right out of gothic literature (and aren't you a poe fan??) there is no point trying to track back through and make sense of it - the whole film is her 'account' of the events - only at the end we find out she's a raving lunatic/psychopath. . . this is an old trick but used to good effect here

sure, i felt cheated at the end like a lot of people - but later i realized that it was just a bit of clever narrative trickery

i like the idea of it but it has holes. why would it show the killer alone in a different area then the chick if it's her. example: him giving himself head with a head. but i don't know maybe i'm not getting the whole thing. let me know.

I... didn't like it much. Good initial attack, but it got annoying.

SPOILERS!!!

Well, if you follow the "she made him up" line of thought, she can make him do anything she wants when she's not there. She's just "fleshing him out" like any narrator would do...

I loved this movie. I agree with a few others who say it is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. I didn't feel cheated at the end at all. I was surprised. But I really like what a few have said about the alter-ego and her basically narrating the events. I thought it was great and have always reccomended it and no one I know has been let down.

listen to what he says. . .

I personally thought it borrowed more from Dean Koontz's "Intensity" than "Fight Club".

In fact the stories run the same right up to the service station. I wondered if they had decided to remake the earlier 1997 movie (no gore in the original).

I did like the film and the twist at the end was good.

Haute Tension is un french horror movie , this film is very gore and i love Cécile De France (:) ) .

It's a best french horror movie with Baby Blood . A monument !

It was okay.Hated the ending though.It was retarded.

I don't care for this movie all that much; great potential ruined by lazy writing, in my opinion. if there had been closer attention to detail, and if there had been a focus on telling a good, solid story rather than going for shock value (when it wasn't even all that shocking, I saw it coming...I was just really hoping they wouldn't go that way) it could have been great. There have been many movies with this type of twist that worked really well, but for me, this one just didn't. :(
