This movie did decent business in France and less well upon its U.S. release, but quickly became one of the standard-bearers for a wave of films classified as the “New French Extremity.” A throwback to the gnarly, grisly thrillers of the ‘70s, slasher Haute Tension is as bloody as they come, and picks up points for placing queer female characters in the lead, not just as victims, but then loses them with a last-act twist doesn’t really hold up to scrutiny. Still, it’s bloody memorable.
