Though of course the investigative policeman's point of view does come into it (he discovers the CCTV footage), which kind of drags the film out of the personal flashback sense.

yeah, the footage from the store clearly shows that she's fucked in the head.

so like, when the guy is at the counter and it shows the blonde girl hiding behind the shelfs. it's just the blonde up at the counter and she's imagining that she is behind her. so when he says "what are you looking at over there?"
that is never really said

I truely like High Tension. Having being bored shitless by most horror films for a while, this one had my full attention. Some of the best gore in along time and the best atmosphere in a horror film yet.

This film is on my "list of films to watch" but now Im a little worried as to what I should think about this film. Very mixed reactions. I dont think I will hurry myself to see it, so that im not disappointed but I will watch it at some point and hopefully be pleasently surprised.

I really recommend you watch it. For most people that did not like this, their main problem was that they didn't like the ending, but most of them admit they found the rest of the movie very enjoyable, with a unique atmosphere and some very intense moments....

Is there really that much dilemma over whether to watch a movie or not?

And surely if folk have varying strong feelings about it then it should make you want to see it more?

Finally, if you have read this thread then the twist - and impact of this adventurous film - has surely already been spoiled for you

Hehe I know what you mean. I avoided all spoilers and reading these posts has not spoiled it for me. The mixed opinions does make me want to watch this film. However I was wondering how to approach this film, for example should I rush out and buy it or would the film be a let down of how excited I was about it or should I just wait and watch it when I can and maybe be pleasently surprised. I guess I just think differently from everyone else. Maybe that answers your questions im not sure but it all sits right im my head lol.

I honest think you should open your mind and not see films as products of the comments they attract.

I blame the internet.

Yes, go and buy Haute Tension - whether you are offended or not by the splendid turn of events near the end, you need to see it for the gloss, the gore and audaciousness of the filmmakers.
