High Tension centers on a beautiful young Frenchwoman, Alex (Maïwenn Le Besco), travels out to the country to visit her family and brings along her friend Marie (Cécile de France). Soon after they get settled in the secluded home, Alex’s parents are brutally attacked by a psychotic truck driver (Philippe Nahon), who proceeds to stalk the two women as well. When the killer kidnaps Alex in his truck, Marie hides in the back to try and rescue her, but the bloodshed is far from over.
Rated R for graphic bloody killings, terror, sexual content and language, the film sports a 41% rating over on Rotten Tomatoes with a Critics Consensus that reads: There is indeed a good amount of tension in this French slasher, but the dubbing is bad and the end twist unbelievable.
