High Tension (2003)

linktr.ee/CatchingUpOnCinema⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ It's October, so that means it's once again time for Catching Up On Cinema's annual, “Kyle's Killer October” event month! All month long, Catching Up On Cinema's resident horror enthusiast, Kyle, will be taking creative control of the program, offering up new reviews for a wide variety of horror flicks from week to week. This week, Kyle and Trevor review Alexandre Aja's, Haute/High Tension (2003)! An early film in the unofficial, “New French Extremity” movement of the 2000's, Alexandre Aja's Haute/High Tension (2003) is a slickly produced, beautifully shot, and exceptionally brutal home invasion thriller with a novel twist. Best experienced without spoilers, the film is nevertheless a very taut and immediate experience, such that it proves a worthwhile horror experience, even divorced from its twists and gimmicks.
