high tension

[vanlutz]

It's not without it's plotholes though, like I said before, there's the head in the van thing...and another one I thought of - which vehicle really existed?
I mean, perhaps the first scene with the other girl and her in the car didn't actually happen? So that may explain the van bit at the beggining, assuming she fabricated meeting the family and all, the whole thing could've just been recollection of past experiences with a person that rejected her, that she'd become obsessed with?
I think that's what I'll stick to as my theory.
It explains the vehicle, how they appeared to be in the car at the same time (it was a fantasy), the male character with all his hatred, and just how far the split personality thing happened...just my take.

Yeah, that doesn't quite cut it for me. I understood she was the killer and split personality. It's the plot holes it left open that left me scratching my head.

I HATED Sixth Sense, but that's a perfect example of a surprise ending that made perfect sense. High Tension went for that kind of ending and the plot holes made it fall very short. Very much the same way Rest Stop fell short because of it's plot problems. It's a shame because I truly enjoyed the fright factors in both those films, and then the endings just blew it.

I rate High Tension (Unrated Version) one of the better horror movies to come out in a long time. Sure it has some plot problems, like he locks them into the back of the truck with a pad lock yet she opens the back without touching the pad lock.
However, High Tension (Uncut) has some of the most suspence moments from a slasher film made. The way the movie is shot is excellent and the actors are very good. It also has some of the most realistic gory scenes in a long time.

I take High Tension for what it is, a super suspenseful movie that has some great moments.
I have watched this film a number of times, something I rarely do.
