And some pretty cool gore. "I'm hooked!" And then you get slapped in the face with a terrible ending that completely destroys the film. Everything before the twist gets a 7/10. But, because of how much the ending ruins the mood, It gets a 5/10 - Mediocre.… Expand

Brutal, violenta y sangrienta con no tantas, pero contundentes dosis de gore que son los elementos que mejor sostienen esta película, cuya historia no es tan interesante, tiene unos cuantos agujeros de guión y la protagonista es bastanteBrutal, violenta y sangrienta con no tantas, pero contundentes dosis de gore que son los elementos que mejor sostienen esta película, cuya historia no es tan interesante, tiene unos cuantos agujeros de guión y la protagonista es bastante pendeja, lo cual hasta ese momento me había parecido un factor negativo, pero al final comprendí más o menos el por qué, el plot twist sorprende relativamente bien, pero no tiene profundidad alguna, en fin, es el gore lo que hace entretenida esta cinta.… Expand

Well, I've been waiting quite a long time for this movie to come out on dvd and when i whatched it, it seemed a waste of time, but it kept me thinking throughout the movie. it deserves a 5 no more though.

I just got done watching this flim on the Movie network. Not very good. I would have given it a 7 or close 8 if it wasn't for the fact that TOoooooo many things have to be forgiven for the ending to work. At first it was good. It was I just got done watching this flim on the Movie network. Not very good. I would have given it a 7 or close 8 if it wasn't for the fact that TOoooooo many things have to be forgiven for the ending to work. At first it was good. It was like the old school slasher when there were very few poeple and that ONE killer. But thinking back on the sences after seeing the ending is too weird. At first (like I said) it seemed like maybe it was biulding to some kind of 'kitty' slasher and Texas Chainsaw Massarce, and unlike Riren who thinks that this has bee done so much (I;ve seen thousands of movies including over seas and this polt isnt AS overdone as you seem to think) No....I dont mind the story if it wasn't for ALL those mistakes after knowing the ending. There was a cool move on the surrvilence camera that really surpised me, but only because the movie was so outrageously pointing in one completley differnet way. The movie is way to out there that it makes it too impossible to understand becasue of the lack of actual common sense in a movie thats trying to make you believe in it.… Expand

Knowing the ending completely ruins the entire movie. Without going into spoiler territory, the only redeeming quality of this movie is the incredibly hot main character. That alone bumps this up to a 5 for me.… Expand

Bad on so many points and good on so very few. It was confusing and definitely one of the stranger films out there. Though High Tension does seem a little more violent than it needs to be, what it was implying (the violence) is still notBad on so many points and good on so very few. It was confusing and definitely one of the stranger films out there. Though High Tension does seem a little more violent than it needs to be, what it was implying (the violence) is still not clear. Perhaps maybe it will be if one watches it more than once.… Expand

A film that for all its duration really knows how to give a '' high tension '', which makes us fond of his characters and invites us to watch it until the end.
And that is probably the only one, but big, defect that destroys almost the wholeA film that for all its duration really knows how to give a '' high tension '', which makes us fond of his characters and invites us to watch it until the end.
And that is probably the only one, but big, defect that destroys almost the whole film: a totally disconnected, meaningless ending that goes to create flaws in the script that unfortunately can not be ignored.
A pity, because with a more logical ending this film could have overcome the mere sufficiency.… Expand
