Movie Review

Grade: B A movie for those who like gore, "High Tension" is a slick little import from France that manages to build some tension, throw in a twist here and there and splash the screen with more blood than found in "Kill Bill." Read the full movie review

How Sad..., by Coy

June 16, 2005

Another movie ruined by a horrible ending. A shocking twist that is thrown in at the end of the film absolutely takes everything away from this movie. It diminishes any real replay value and it disagrees with many things that have already happened throughout the movie.

I'm tired of directors and writers thinking that a good scary movie must have a twist! Because this movie would have been a lot better without one.
