Marie and Alexia are schoolmates and best friends. Hoping
to prepare for their college exams in peace and quiet, they
decide to spend a weekend in the country at Alexia's parents'
secluded farmhouse. But in the dead of night, a stranger
knocks on the front door. And with the first swing of his knife,
the girls' idyllic weekend turns into an endless night of terror...

Prepare to take a white-knuckle journey into the heart of
fear with Lions Gate Films' HIGH TENSION, the terrifying
story of two girls' battle for survival at the hands of a
sadistic psychopath. Marking a return to the nightmarish
intensity of 1970s horror classics, director Alexandre Aja
reduces the genre to its bare essentials, building a narrative
of intensifying dread that culminates in a truly shocking climax.
Relentlessly tightening the screws of suspense, HIGH TENSION will have you struggling to catch your breath. The film stars Cécile de France, Maïwenn and Philippe Nahon, from a script by Aja and Gregory Levasseur
