I showed this to a couple of friends once.....
Know now these friends I speak of are Liberal Christians. They are not the type of Christians that if you don't convert, they will keep harrassing you until you cave in. They are very accepting of who I am, regardless of how much of a mirror opposite I am of them.
With that having been said.....
One night they showed me a documentary called the Cross, about Arthur Blessitt. Having found that movie interesting, I decided to show them a movie I just so happened to have in my car. High Tension was that movie. So we watched it. I almost expected my friends to freak out within minutes, because of the bloody violence and overall unpleaseant tone. But they ended up watching the whole thing (pausing it only once for a bathroom break).
When we got to the end, there was a complete silence as Muse's "New Born" played. Finally, breaking the silence, I asked, "So, what did you two think?" I almost expected my friend to take the DVD out of the player and fling it at me, telling me that the movie sucked. Instead, she said that she loved it, and my other friend expressed his love for it too.
But then came the gripe. They didn't like how it ended. That, I answered with "You two and over 100,000,000 horror fans worldwide".
So it was an interesting night. The Cross (2008) and High Tension as a double feature.
