High Tension (2003)
Directed by Alexandre Aja
4.0/5INSTINCT "MINDY"91 minQuick Hit
High Tension moves like a blade-forward slasher—fast, vicious, and knows exactly when to twist the knife.
Full Take
High Tension leans hard into slasher energy, and Alexandre Aja keeps the tone fast without letting the movie drift. The best parts are the confidence and control: it takes its time, sets the trap, then slams the door. Messy in spots, still worth the ride.

There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.

I see both sides. Some parts worked, some didn’t.
I actually agree with this take. It’s not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.
This didn’t really land for me overall, but I can see why some people like it.
