"High Tension" Just Pissed me Off!

[R!ck]

I bought High Tension yesterday and me and a few friends watched it tonight. Excellent acting, great direction, one of the best cat and mouse chases ever on film. Then BAM! last 20 ninutes, It became the worst movie I have ever seen.

Alexandra and Marie are on the way to Alex's parents house to study for midterms. They get there, settle in for the night. We see some T&A and Marie starts to masterbate thinking of Alex. Well later that night this old fat hillbilly guy comes into the house and murders Alex's Mom, Dad, and little brother. goodstuff here too...head is cut off, hands are cut off, throats sliced etc etc. Marie hides in the house, so the fat guy won't find her. he takes Alex away after killing her family, and puts her in the back of a truck. Marie grabs a knife and gets out of the house to go help her friend. well she gets in the truck to save her and accidentally gets locked in with her.

At this point me and my friends are on the edge of our seats waiting to see what happenes next. Fat guy stops at a gas station, Marie escapes and goes into the store. tells the clerk she is hiding. Fat guy comes in and looks around. The clerk asks him what he needs, and the fat guy says booze. The clerk goes to get the booze and gets an axe in his chest when he's not looking. Marie runs into the restrooms to hide from him. There a 10 minute cat and mouse game. he doesn't find her so he leaves. Marie calls 911 then granbs the dead clerks keys and gets his car to try and look for Alex and the fat guy.

She finds them and there's a high speed chase for a good 10 minutes. The movie is flowing along quite nicely at this point and we are all raving that it's one of the best horror flicks in years.

Cut to the gas station, with the police there reviewing the video cameras. You see MARIE! killing the clerk. It's not the fat guy that we have been lead to believe was the killer for an hour. Then it cuts back to fat guy and Marie fighting, she beats him in the head with a barb wire stake until he's dead. Then she rushes back to Alex and frees her from the chains that he had around her. She tells Alex that everything is going to be okay now that the fat guy is dead and proceeds to kiss her. Alex starts screaming at her, telling her she's crazy and all this jacked up [!@#$%^&*].

Now we are all confused

So come to find out, Marie was locked up in a mental institution and we were watching the movie from her sick twisted account of what happened the night she murdered her best friends family. The fat guy represented her male personality while Marie was the female personality, thus why she felt like she was running from "herself"

I wasted $19.99 on this piece of crap. If you do plan on watching it, at least wait until it's in the dollar rental bin lol Well, I'm off to Ebay to sell this garbage to some poor unsuspecting fool who thinks it will be good. bwahaha

Rick, the last half of this movie sucked worse than a porn star. So many people were saying how scary and great it was. I think they were watching a different movie, because it was AWFUL!

Fortunately for me, I only paid 3.49 to rent it at Blockbuster. But I won't recommend this to anyone who asks.

That sounds like a poor rip off of a film called Identity a few years back.

I made the mistake of renting the unrated version. I spent more time squeaming than screaming. Between the graphic as [!@#$%^&*] throat slashing and the barb wired big stick hitting the guy, I thanked God I had Pepto-Bismol. My roomies were like Hell YEAH! at the violence, I was squeamish. I always act like this when I'm watching Ben's *my roommate* foreign horror movies. I have not seen all of Audition and I have no plans to.

[R!ck]

Audition made me so sick that I almost hurled. I would never watch it again. Once was more than enough.

[Bree]

I've heard about what happens in Audition and I won't go near it. Japanese horror movies are some of the sickest out there. If you think Audition was bad, the "Guts" series is even worse!

This movie was the PITS!!
