High Tension

French. Horror. Usually the two don't really go together,

but this one does.

Premise: two college students drive out to one's house in the country to relax before their final exams. Lonely house. Out in the country. Two girls. Nobody around. Recipe for some mass-murderin'!!!

Let me put it simply - I absolutely hate today's horror movies, because they are all GORE and no STORY. This one, I thought, would be like that, and while it has GORE GALORE, it also has STORY and SUSPENSE and TENSION. This movie delivers; all the tag lines on the cover are spot-on.

Watch this movie - it's about as good as horror movies get these days. Seriously.

However, they didn't have to kill off the dog. I'm p'o'd about that. They could have just had him be scared off into the fields or something, but they had to go and kill 'im! (and that's the onluy spoiler I'll give ya!)


Now, get off the dang Internet and go watch this movie!!!
