Title: Intense gore, high action sequences
Product review: High Tension is a highly disturbing visual masterpiece. One of the better made horror movies of recent date. The kill scenes in the first 30 minutes are as realistic as they are intense and brutal. And then the real terror begins as a cat-and-mouse chase between the killer and the victim ensues, leaving a bloody trail behind. Other reviewers have been disappointed with the ending but, without spoiling the ending, I will leave you with this thought- I found many subtle hints throughout the movie to lead up to the "twist" ending. The killer's mind is a highly disturbing and visual place.Side notes- kudos to LionsGate for releasing the unrated version. The English dubbed over for the first part of the movie is done well and the transition to subtitles in the second half is smooth. The dvd has the usual standard features and interesting commentary by Cecile de France and the director.
