High Tension (Unrated Widescreen Edition)

Fortunately, I have a multi-region player, but had I known it was Region Locked I may noy have purchased this. It is a GREAT transfer for those who were hoping for a good 4K. The extras are good too. This is my first 4K that is locked. I didnt see anything in the description stating it was a non-USA format

I'm not going to spoil anything for you here. This film is nice and vicious. Great violence and a great price. This unrated film is definitely fairly disturbing for sure and good acting from the entire cast.

If you don't like gore, this isn't for you. Very realistic gore. I have to say I was on the edge of my seat watching it. Monster movies don't scare me. Human monster movies do. If you like this genre, you won't be disappointed.

The first time I ordered this Region Free movie, it was not Region Free and I returned it. I finally got the nerve up to try again and was so thrilled when the picture appeared on my screen!! But, that was soon met by disbelief when the English subtitles appeared. I just can’t win with this movie. It is one of my favorite horror films and normally I would give it 5 stars.. the 4K picture is beautiful!! But since I now have to read this movie, I’ve taken 1 star off. I went back and checked out the description, and NOWHERE, does it mention that the film is in French with English subtitles. Fortunately there is not that much dialogue, so I won’t have to read a lot, but COME ON people, PLEASE… can we try a little harder to get our facts right?!! Since this is all that we have to go by, can’t we get our facts straight. It says right on the back of the box, “French language with English subtitles.” I know the letters are small but, please, don’t be so lazy! I read plenty of reviews where people were upset because of the English dubbing. If you’d get your facts straight, then we would ALL be happy, and wouldn’t have to settle for less, or in this case, MORE than we bargained for. Great flick! Video and sound are excellent.P.S. If one of you guys that were complaining about the English dubbing would like to swap for my French with English subtitles… let me know!😆

Horror and suspense fans with an on open mind and a willingness to be challenged on nearly every sensory level will love High Tension. Often misunderstood due to a controversial ending, the film is a refreshing take on the slasher genre and will shock, disturb, and terrorize you like the dirty, mouth-breathing switchblade killer terrorizes two young women and an unsuspecting family in a small French town.Alex is a young, attractive college student travelling to her remote family home with her friend Marie so they can get some studying done without all of the distractions of college life. And as a menacing farm truck pulls up to the front door, the night takes a violent turn. Alex's family is viciously slaughtered by a shadowy old trucker in a jumpsuit in the night, and Marie manages to hide long enough to escape the killer's attack. Alex is spared but taken prisoner, and as the degenerate killer drives away with his prize, Marie decides to rescue her friend and destroy the switchblade killer.What makes this a truly special film is the atmosphere and the ebb and flow of violence and tension, brought to life beautifully by the young actresses and the vile unnamed killer. Moments of brutal violence shown during the house break in and the ending sequences are almost welcome when compared to the unnerving tension in between. The music and cinematography amplify scenes of uncertainty and incredibly close calls. You feel yourself holding your breath when Marie does, and your skin crawls as you hear the laboured, obnoxious breathing of the switchblade maniac as he passes merely feet away.The only thing I'll say about the ending is this: if you are not afraid to be challenged by a film and are willing to do some thinking after the movie is over istead of having every detail spelled out for you on screen, then you will find the ending satisfying and intriguing. And if not, you will still be left with a hauntingly shot and acted slasher film that will unsettle you for days. Highly recommended by a picky film fan.

La película llegó a tiempo y en buen estado. La película es rápida, con acción trepidante que no te deja al respiro. Viene con subtitulos en español.

This review is for HIGH TENSION Second Sight Limited 4K edition.PLOT...Best friends Marie and Alex decide to spend a quiet weekend at Alex's parents' secluded farmhouse. But on the night of their arrival, the girls' idyllic getaway turns into an endless night of horror.High Tension (also known in the UK as Switchblade Romance) is a seriously awesome French extreme movie released in 2003, a very tense and dark and very violent modern day slasher! Brilliant directing from Alexandre Aja (Crawl, The hills have eyes, Piranha, Horns) The movie right from the start is an utter nightmare, dark disturbing and absolutely nail biting, very well shot on some nice remote locations with an amazing cast, especially the two lead ladies Cécile de France and Maïwenn and the creepy man in the van Philippe Nahon. The movie reinvents the slasher with its conventional rules being bent to create something new we haven't seen before, I cant say anymore with spoilers as the movie has a fantastic twist to it, its a sick tale that needs to be seen. The movie will of course appeal to gore-hounds as it is very violent, constantly gory and bloody and graphic with most of it! Absolute masterpiece of horror/thriller cinema an absolute must watch, and if your into collecting then this new second sight release is awesome!Picture quality on the Blu-ray and 4K is great!Features include commentary, original making of and old and new interviews (176mins worth)Region FREE 4K, B Blu-ray. Running time 91mins. 2003.French language movie with English subtitles.Limited edition has a nice rigid case with some cool art cards and a great 70-page book.

DVD castellano.Al igual que con Al interior no fue amor a primera vista con respecto a ella. Independientemente del gore, es un thriller psicológico. Y si no se dobla y/o subtitula correctamente puede fastidiarle la historia - y por ende la película - al espectador y no la valorará lo suficiente. Y es una pena.Recomendable, y mucho. Ópera prima de Alexandre Aja.El dvd contiene interesantísimos extras como entrevistas a los especialistas técnicos y al reparto, trailer, escenas de rodaje...Es toda una ocasión la grata posibilidad de hacerte con la película.

One of the most terrifying home invasion movies I’ve ever seen. If you are looking for a deeply scary foreign movie you won’t be disappointed. Fast shipping.

Consigliatissimo a tutti gli amanti dell'horror. Sangue a litri e terrore ad ogni angolo. Da guardare a notte fonda e al buoi,Un encomio al venditore che lo ha imballato in modo eccezionale.
