A refreshingly original horror film with heaps of gore and a sense of foreboding, but it's tainted by unnecessary dubbing and plot twists that make absolutely no sense. Final Grade: C+ |

At first this film confused me - but once the last 20 minutes came on, everything made (somewhat) more sense. This is one you'll probably have to watch twice to fully appreciate - to get over that WTF? moment the first time around. |

This movie was as advertised, full of tense heart pumping thrills. It was utterly aggravating to watch and I wanted to reach out and shake Marie for being so dumb but in the end it pulled together to surprise me. Good suspenseful flick. |

High Tension |
|
High Tension has a cleaver idea, but doesn't make it work. It is a very well made movie, with plenty of tension, but it's ending is very unsatisfying(and it actually makes the entire movie pointless). it starts off good, but gets very graphic and is sometimes hard to watch. This movie is not for the faint of heart, or the squeamish. Cecile De France, however, is very good. |

Not What You Think |
|
Great horror flick- this is a fun and gory ride. It's definitely worth multiple watches to iron out all of the things that you missed the first time around. I remember seeing this at the theatre and being dissappointed at the end. Then, once I left and thought about it, it made more sense and I finally realized what had happened. This one you have to give a chance and really look at the ending with logic not dissatisfaction. Watch the beginning and then watch the end and everything will clear. Awesome movie though. |

Lack of Tension, more like. |
|
Cécile De France is quite great and everything. However, I saw the dubbed version and it was pretty bad. The end was a tad disappointing and rotten (the man???). Oh well, I like Céce in other movies, try Avenue Montaigne (aka Orchestra Seats). |
