Not a good movie. This film is sooo boring. The twist at the end was the most disturbing thing. I mean what the hell..... I also cant understand that this film have so much gore and blood in it?!

I also cant understand that this film have so much gore and blood in it?! Before i watched the film i thought i get much more and blood to see, like in SAW. But in the end this movie is a standard horrormovie like nearly every horrormovie. "2 Teenagers drive across the countryside to their parents after some time they get kidnaped and they must escape!" This is soo boring!!… Expand

I give this a zero for being offensive. The actual movie as a whole is a well made gore/shock fest. BUT it has some seriously stupid elements, and actually made me a bit angry. Having sex with a severed head is definitely unnecessary. AlsoI give this a zero for being offensive. The actual movie as a whole is a well made gore/shock fest.

Also many parts of the movie characters just get killed for the dumbest reasons.… Expand

High Tension has a twist ending that's simply been done too much now, and this is the worst execution of that particular twist ending to date. I won't spoil it for you, but honestly, this thing has been too many times to be novel, High Tension has a twist ending that's simply been done too much now, and this is the worst execution of that particular twist ending to date. I won't spoil it for you, but honestly, this thing has been too many times to be novel, and too few times to be acceptable when repeated. It's like a slap in the face after you've put up with all the overreaching "tension" of the movie. The movie earns its credit with disgusting (if occasionally physically implausible - you can't behead someone by pushing a bureau against them) deaths and its dirtier, more realistic vision of the world. It can certainly make you squirm, but not as often as a horror lover might hope. Indeed, its ultimate lack of substance is the most bothersome part of the film, until you realize there was supposed to be something deeper going on all along. Then it all falls apart, in a pile of gore.… Expand

The gore was probably the only good thing about this movie. The acting is laughable at best, The plot is your generic horror movie plot (Friends arrive at a family member's house when a killer shows up to ruin the fun) and lame attempts atThe gore was probably the only good thing about this movie. The acting is laughable at best, The plot is your generic horror movie plot (Friends arrive at a family member's house when a killer shows up to ruin the fun) and lame attempts at suspense just fall flat. Even the twist ending, which was alright but predictable by the time it's revealed, doesn't do anything to save it.… Expand
