So you're a horror lover, but you haven't seen High Tension? Your list is incomplete. High Tension delivers all the thrills & blood of your usual slasher horror, but with a most exceptional twist.
Cécile De France plays Marie, who is in the unfortunate position of having a psychotic killer after her with some kind of vengeance only a mad man can conjure, & at the same time trying to save her friend from the worst possible fate. A cat and mouse games ensues. We are kept in the dark as to why the killer does his deeds, we can barely see his face. It makes this mysterious killer even scarier. Relentless and obviously severely disturbed, we are given a glimpse of him in the beginning as to what he does to a severed head that made me throw up a little in my mouth when I saw it.
Surprisingly, I saw a number of comments stating that there were too many loopholes and that there were things that didn't make sense. I can only say that they probably watched the movie, and then turned it off 15 minutes before it ended. Try doing that with other movies like The Sixth Sense, or SAW. Perhaps they need to watch it again?
Sure, the movie may not have all the substance of more popular horror flicks (like the ones mentioned above), but you can't peel away from it, and to me, the ending made up for all it's shortcomings. Cécile De France is awesome, she dubbed her own lines in English from French, did her own stunts in the movie, and played her part well. It's not the standard woman runs from killer movie, you really get the feeling that at any moment, she's clever enough to kill the killer. Recommended.
