To put it simply, "Haute Tension" is one of the most gory slasher movies I've ever seen. It's dose of bloody violence can only be compared to classics like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" etc. But apart from gore, the movie also contains good suspense (yes, right from the start), shocking plot twists (I really couldn't sense the main twist until they showed the surveillance camera video), solid acting by Cecile de France and Maewenn le Besco (who, by the way, looks like Steven Tyler's real sister) and intelligent direction by Alexandre Aja.
Yes, all these comprise a perfect horror/thriller movie for the summer. And it's interesting that this is not from Hollywood.
