High Tension

[BH14]

SPOILERS:

I think some of you all missed the point... We are seeing the battle of her multiple personalities in her head and what that personalty felt at the particular moment. What you see doesnt necessarily mean it's real. We are seeing whats going on in her head (some of it real and some of it not in the real world).

That car chase never really happened in the real world... She was actually driving the other girl all alone but she flashed in between personalities. For one second, she thinks that she is following a truck and the next, she has become the killer. We are watching whats going on from her current mental state. Sometimes she felt like she was driving the hotrod and saving her friend and then later the truck and being all evil.

When a crazy person starts having a conversation with himself, Im sure that he thinks he is sane and having a real conversation with someone in their head. Thats what we are seeing! We are seeing the movie from the personality even though its not reality. As for the decapatated BJ, I dont think it really ever happened but the Killer personality experienced it in his life.

There is no car chase! No real fight! She really didnt morph into the killer at the end! She wasnt really being chased by a Killer!

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?

Thats what I have been saying all along and yet, some people are still confused and they really believe there was a real car chase. The movie was like an Angel and the Devil on each shoulder taking full control of her and battling it out in her head. Some of it happened only in her head (LIKE THE CAR CHASE) and some of it leaked out in the real world and left dead bodies.

I think it did, though.

But good point on the car chase. You converted me.

I loved it. I totally didn't see the (***SPOILER***) "twist" coming at all. Total brutality from beginning to end. Salut!

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

Yes well put, and an excellent horror thriller with an almost entirely unpredictable twist (anyone who claims they "saw it coming" can piss off - bum's on fire). :)

Great gore by De Rossi, especially the head-squashing and razor attacks.

Some folk seem preoccupied with looking for plot holes - in all movies - as some kind of triumph of intelligence. Better to just go along for the ride, particularly in such a bold and confident film as this.

There is a guy at the mall by me that sells all kinds of Aisa cinema movies and I bought this film from him. I was able to see this film without any of the "American" cuts to it. I tought that the film was really good. It was very original and I loved the story. I was a little put off by theending.

*SPOILERS*

I had just seen Window and Hide and Seek not too long before this film and all I could think was, not another movie where the killer doesn't know they are the killer movie. I really liked Fight Club (One of my top 3 fave movies ever) and Identity. I know those have the same type of ending but it might be I didn't see them so close to each other.

Other then that I would still recomend Tension to anyone and everyone.

The USA release was cut?

It was uncut in the UK, which is nice.
