Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Very bloody, sometimes difficult to watch and sometimes just tiresome.
– Mick LaSalle,
San Francisco Chronicle,

rotten:
A lame exercise, delivering shameless thrills at the expense of logic and genuine suspense.
– Jeff Shannon,
Seattle Times,

fresh:
You have to give it to the filmmakers for their contempt of convention: no foreplay, no teasing, no steady buildup of dread, just a knock on the door and the slaughterer is there.
– Stephen Hunter,

rotten:
Director Alexandre Aja, who wrote this with Gregory Levasseur, doesn't have a gift for horror suspense so much as a compleat geek knowledge of all the superior scare flicks that have preceded High Tension.
– Desson Thomson,
Washington Post,
10 Jun 2005
rotten:
An extremely well-made, very grisly and ultimately dishonest slasher film that's too clever for its own good.
