Bloody, intense, psychological terror. A classic film.
There should not be any surprise why Wes Craven chose Alexandre Aja to direct the remake of “The Hills Have Eyes”. Aja’s “High Tension” delivers what could be the most terrifying scenario in horror history since “The Last House on The Left”. Two young women travel to a dreary looking farmhouse to study for important school exams. That same night, as soon as the doorbell rings, the madness strikes, and it strikes hard. The killer in this film holds nothing back, and it will feel as if you had been struck in the stomach by a 2×4. The flick will not let you go until the last fearful scene is over. Highly recommended for serious horror filmmakers.
Recycled clichés in a barely entertaining order
The stupidly titled Switchblade Romance (aka the lamely titled High Tension) offers nothing new to the slasher movie genre. It’s nothing more than a succession of set-pieces manipulated to provoke maximum dread from the audience. Everything here you’ve seen before, but the relentless gore, superb photography and eerie, minimalist atmosphere make it an almost decent time-waster.Marie and Alex are a couple of college girls vacationing at Alex’s parents house in the country. Marie is given her own room and seems comfortable sleeping on her lonesome despite feeling a little unnerved by the isolation of the farmhouse. Not long after nightfall a stranger in grubby cover-alls pulls up in his rust-bucket van/tank and sets about murdering Alex’s dad, mum, and brother. He kidnap’s Alex and plans to rape, torture and kill her but Marie is hot on his heels. Can she rescue her in time.
For most of the running time this film works purely on eager energy but in the last act, when the director has wrung out everything he can from the cliché-ridden script he chucks in a stupid, ridiculous plot twist that completely contradicts everything established in the opening act. Yes, there are clues and hints that limply tie it together but it still doesn’t add up to sense.
Alexandre Aja is a director of no considerable talent who I believe only made this film to get a name for himself and get some Hollywood gigs. His efforts so far have been nothing but remakes and sequels. He’s not a director I admire and this debut it proof of that. Any visual flare this film is entirely the effort of the cinematographer.
