High Tension Ratings & Reviews
- OmmarDecember 8, 2025Jeepers Creepers crossover vehicle??? 😱
- susied66October 24, 2025puts a whole new meaning to getting head...
- Sean GlennSeptember 9, 2025Pretty good.Had a good twist to it.
- gaylynjAugust 6, 2025Really great movie with an incredible plot twist. They call it high tension for a reason, and the actress in it is fantastic. Yes, this is a foreign film, but I have yet to have found an American movie that compares to this. Especially on such a good creep factor, with a realistic touch.
- jamessa84July 25, 2025Another foreign language movie. Four thumbs down 👎👎👎👎.
- Kevin WardJuly 2, 2025I think my expectations may have been a little too inflated for this. I’ve had several people recommend it. It’s touted as one of the best of the New French Extremity movement in film, but I was somewhat underwhelmed by it. Admittedly, I think that is mostly due to that last twist. On my initial watch, it didn’t seem like it made logical sense and the film would have been better off without it. Up until that point, though, this was a really taut (and tense) thriller with some excellent looking practical gore. Glad to finally cross this off the watchlist though.
- Hipster ZOMBIEJanuary 25, 2025An often overlooked hidden gem from the 2000s , High Tension, is a brutal slasher film that has one of the best twists ever in a slasher. Best viewed without knowing anything about it. Just jump into the horror and enjoy!
