WOW!
I just finished watching this movie and damn it was like one of the most intense thriller i've ever seen.
Besides the fact that it's very well acted, directed, man what a rush, from the beginning to the final credits it keeped me on the edge of my seat.
Does anyone else seen this movie and share the same opinion?

I thought it was good too, but did leave me with a little bit of a "been there, done that" after taste. Very nice filck though... I enjoyed it.

Yeah i agree, it's nothing new, but it was so intense, it's not like those slow--boring thrillers (gothika :p) where you just kept thinking, "oh c'mon when will fucking Halle Berry be chopped off". :wink:

Such a coincidence, just saw this film yesterday night for the second time. Very nice movie indeed, never boring. Borrows a lot of elements from other horror movies but has it's own touch.

i agree, there aren't any new elements, like we've seen this kind of ending quite a few times during the last years. but i loved it from the start and enjoyed it even more when watching for the second time.

Heh, glad to know you did enjoy it too.
I'm inviting a friend over, so i'll watch it again today, yeah i guess you're right avatar, i think i'll enjoy it even more this time since some things now make sense.
And oh well with a six pack everything is makes sense. :wacky:
By the way i've heard that a movie called Intensity is pretty similar to this one, has anyone already watched it?

i once read some rumours that High Tension is another adaptation based on the same Dean R. Koontz novel as Intensity.

I just found an ed2k link. It's a TV rip since there's no DVD out yet.

ed2k: Intensity%20-%20Dean%20Koontz%20-%20Tv-Ntsc-Xvid-Mp3-Cd1.avi  [700.01 Mb] [Stats]
ed2k: Intensity%20-%20Dean%20Koontz%20-%20Tv-Ntsc-Xvid-Mp3-Cd2.avi  [700.02 Mb] [Stats]

I'll give it a go and see how John C. McGinley fares in this flick. I usually like him a lot.

Yep, watching it for the second time is fun too. Takes away the surprises of course but now a lot of the hints make sense. I watched it two times with the same friends and we all thought the same about the movie...

Yeah its not an adaptation as a blatant ripoff of Intensity. Watching the first time I kept getting that 'seen this before feeling', then I said what was going to happen right before it did. They just tagged on the BS 'split-personality' ending. It is a good watch though, regardless. And its pretty violent. Fuck it, just watch it, why am I even gonna bother trying to discourage....

Oh i didn't know it was a ripoff, anyway i just thought it was a good movie.
I'll watch Intensity then i'll let you know. :wacky:

Even if it's really similar, as long as it's entretaining it's fine for me. :wink:

Nevermind !! :mrgreen:

I was Hybernating for a long period :), not downloading anymore and since im still busy moving places i did not come round posting on HHAH.

That's prob why you didn't find out earlier.

Nevertheless, i really liked Haute Tension too !!
Got my copy from ebay like 6 months ago, but it's a really poor Taiwanese bootleg thingie. Not that you can see it's cheap-ass quality directly but you can tell. Think i'll grab meself an original anytime soon.

But first i really need to get me this

THIS IS SWEET !! and i was searchin for this all along and since the other editions were sold aout long ago :mrgreen:

Gotta get this, does anyone have this ????

Damn, I really loved this movie, and since I speak french I was able to watch original with no subs, much better IMO!
You can concentrate on the movie much more !

As many have said, yes it seems we've all seen this sort of movie many times lately, but I have to admit, this is the one that got my attention the most...so props to Haute Tension !!! :beerchug:
