High Tension, also called Haute Tension, is a French horror film worth checking out. Two college friends, Marie and Alex are looking for weekend getaway, so they head to Alex's parents place in the country. After the "grand tour", the two have dinner with Alex's family, all seems good, so they venture off to bed. Marie is awakened by the doorbell, and Alex's dad answers the door. It is a serial killer who enters and subsequently murders all of Alex's family, while Marie looks on in shock, hiding in various spots of the house as the serial killer moves room to room. The killer then kidnaps Alex, and Marie follows intent to save her friend, you see, Marie is deeply in love with Alex.
What happens then - is the best part of the movie. There are hints all along what the twist is, but it is still gasping fun to witness.
This is a blood-splatter movie, for sure, so if you do not like gory killings, I would not recommend it. But, if you are up for a tense, graphically violent 91 minute ride thrill ride, check it out.
