I'll back High Tension too then. That actually might be the best choice for our purposes since it's more accessible than the rest. It demonstrates the influence the movement is having on mainstream horror, especially since Alexandre Aja went on to direct popular films The Hills Have Eyes and Piranha. It's a good example of the NFE's ability to take tried and true horror themes or formulas and turn them on their head (this one is Slasher of course). It's also a film that's ripe for discussion, however doing so here would surely spoil the ending, so I'll refrain (and hopefully everyone else will be careful about spoilers).
