High Tension

High Tension (2003)
Dir: Alexandre Aja

A family living in a secluded homestead are attacked by a mysterious killer, but things are not all they appear to be.
A violent and bloody horror film that is let down by a frustrating ending. After a slow set-up the attack on the family home is brutally done, and the tension that follows is relentless for nearly an hour. Well acted and superbly directed, it's just a shame it didn't quit while it was ahead.
