High Tension

[SKOOFx]

SPOILER:


If the movie ended with her staring out into the sky screaming her lungs out after she killed the "killer".....it would have been one of the best horror movies to date..

str8 up brutal-slasher...

We know too much about the slashers these days..it would have been nice for it to have been executed on a simple level.

We dont know who he was..what his past was or anything...he was just some fucked up psycho...who brought pain to everyone .....
then,
she kills him....screams at the sky forever trauamtized..MOVIE ENDS.

in my opinion, it would have been classic. Leaving you with the unsettling fear that this COULD really happen..and people like thet DO exist.

The original ending is ok...and its fun..because you can discuss it over a cup of joe and try to figure out the sexual undertones the director intended..but still..the movie was robbed from being a fantastic horror film..(TCM style).

Good movie none the less

I'm in full agreement with this comment.

You should write SPOILER just in case so you wont ruin it for people who havent seen it. What was so wrong with the movie? Even if you may not fully agree with the ending, it still had great acting, plenty of gore, lot of tension, etc so one can still enjoy it. Everyone that I talked to LOVED it as so did I. Please dont mention Hide and Seek and Secret Window with High Tension. Hide and Seek was so damn predictable after the first 20 mins and High Tension wasnt. I dont think anyone saw that plot coming from High Tension. As for Secret Window, one of the worst movies I ever seen. Pathetic movie! As for Fight Club and Identity, I enjoyed both those movies a lot.

Dont you get tired of the same ol..... killer goes after good guy, good guy kills killer and good guy lives happily ever after type of movie? There are too many horror movies which lack good plot and High Tension delivers a good unpredictable plot unlike the crap like Hide and Seek and Secret Window that you mentioned.

Well seeing that you are a hardcore High Tension fan lol, I agree with everything you said. Except Secret window I haven't seen it.

I thought it was awesome...Although I didnt like how all the interviews were almost completely in French..but its origionally French anyways.

But the end felt kind of void. How did the main character find the truck and all the weapons and so forth..and how was she with Alex when her little brother was getting shot..when it was actually her doing the shooting? Doesnt make sense

Good movie none the less

*MORE SPOILERS*



I figured it was part of her disorder. The whole movie we arent always seeing whats actually happening, just whats inside her head. Part of her personality thought she was hiding and such while the other part of her had control of her body. Make sence to anyone other than myself?

I just watched this last night. It was going great until the end...







SPOILER






The "Surprise" twist ending left way too many holes in the plot and made no attempt to explain them. How was she driving more than one vehicle at a time? Where did the big geren van come from? What the hell was with the severed head hummer then if it was a chick? Too many damn holes...

I don't know... This movie started off GREAT, then the ending ruined it a lot for me. See Last Seen Movie for a full review and grade.

Yah, I wondered the same thing, about the two vehicles.

On the other hand, a chick can get pleasure orally too, you know. Just stick the tongue out, mash down the teeth...never mind. :)

It's a mish mash of twisted events, jumbled up within her messed up paranoid mind.

Is this what you really were trying to say...

It's a mish mashed plot jumbled up within a movie they messed up.
