Films LIKE Haute Tension, maybe, but not Haute Tension its self. The "oh, the skinny blonde girl and the fat killer guy were the same person" thing felt completely tacked on, like the writer just pulled something out of his ass at the last second and made it seem like it was deep or something. It wasn't at all effective, and just because it was unpredictable doesn't mean it was good. For the schizophrenic gimmick to actually work, it has to make sense within the context of the movie as a whole, not just get stuck on the end of the movie.
