In the tense thriller High Tension, a pair of friends go to visit the family farm, and soon find themselves facing off against a relentless brutal killer. Then there's a late twist that completely changes everything about the movie up to that point. We're breaking down the story, including what the twist means, who the killer really is and their motive, as well as explaining the ending.

Maybe the Marie chasing the killer is just the Marie personality trying to gain control back from the killer one
The twist was forced on them, which is why it makes no sense with the rest of the film.
Though, because much of the film is copped straight from Dean Koontz’s Intensity, maybe the producers were trying to make it just different enough.
Though there is dialogue and scenes taken straight from Koontz’s book and scenes taken straight from the TV movie of it.
@@CorbCorbin what’s the name of the book? 🙏 😃
Wow, ur right. This makes much more sense
@@leahhart3585 Intensity
@@LeolaGlamour thank you
This was a real gem. The actresses turned it out. Homegirl gave us a whole new level of psychotic.
I vomited in my throat when I read homegirl.
@@grimace4257 well I've had multiple female friends I call home girl. The type of girls that would be UFC fighters. Strong women that probably even beat you up as a man yourself lol 😂
This movie was amazing. I remember my mother rented it for us. Hell of a night. The actress' performance was phenomenal. They don't make movies like they used to! Very rarely do they anyways...
@@grimace4257 what wrong with homegirl
I didn’t know anyone else said homeboy/homegirl. I thought I was the only one!
That’s why she clean the room like that, he wasn’t just looking for her. He was covering up his tracks, of saying someone came over
The very ending with Marie at the mental institution suddenly reaching for Alex is one of my all time favorite jump scares.
I remember when I saw this movie. I jumped at that part
But why Alex visited her in the hospital after she killed all of her family's members?
@@incrimepodcast2020 looking for closure, trying to understand why she did it or just because plot stuff?
I love watching these right before bed and tossing the dice on whether I get nightmares or not :)
Same 🤣
Living life in the fast lane
🤣 sometimes I just can't do it.
Most accurate comment!
You live life to the fullest!
If I'm ever in a horror movie, I pray it's not a french one because of Raw, Martyrs, High Tension, Inside, etc
Inside is a top tier horror film, best of all of the ones mentioned for sure.
same lmao
one question is raw supposed to be rec
@@Penis_schlammer69 no, rec was spanish not french. still good though. look up raw from 2016 it's another fantastic horror film.
I'm about to watch raw ( it's free on tubi) andddddd I'm not sure if I'm ready
I think a better twist would of been if Marie was still the killer but the guy in the truck was real and it’s revealed that he was trying to help and could of known what Marie was actually like.
In the book, the character isn't crazy but the killer actually feels she might have the capacity to kill like him, so he doesn't kill her and asks her to be his partner so that idea isn't that crazy, however she chooses to not do that and saves the day. Read the book intensity by Dean Koontz its the true story and much better.
That would have made the movie more interesting.
@@LeolaGlamour - What? Vess doesn't ask Chyna to be his partner. I've read the book a bunch of times as a teenager, I'd remember that part.
Closest thing might be when he threatens to let her live long enough to watch him break his young captive mentally, but it's clearly a threat, not a "let's team up!".
@@randallflagg3700
That might be the movie then.
@@LeolaGlamour That sounds so cliché
Did anyone not ever notice the decapitated head is Alex’s
im so happy to know people remember this. no one ever knows what im talking about.
It's a classic fav...don't feel bad folks never know what I'm talking about either🤣
Are they not horror fans? I haven't come across many in the horror fan community who aren't at least aware of the film
I remember seeing this when I was 14 and was scared of my neighbors for weeks
I remember seeing this movie when I was super young with my cousin at his house. He had cable & it randomly came out at night on a horror movie marathon. Scared the crap out of me back then but good movie tho now that I remember it more clearly.
It’s trash and you should feel ashamed. The worst in years.
When the mom said “why?” you kinda knew Marie was the killer.
Yup exactly
@@ryuzaki6865 yeah I thought that would make either Marie or Alex the killer,but yeah Marie made more sense after the initial setup
yeah, my reaction was DID again.
I am so bored of DID in horrors/thrillers.
@@selectidiot yea it was a huge hype in the early 2000s with American Psycho, Secret Window, the Mechanist.. But a couple of movies at least tried a more unique spin like Identity and the more recent Split..
Serial killers have said that most of their victims ask “why?”, along with “please don’t” “you don’t have to do this” and “I have a family.”
For a hint at Marie’s split personality it’s a terrible one, and has nothing to do with it.
They didn’t film any scenes with “giving clues” in mind, and actually went to great lengths to display feats that such a small woman could never do.
The gas station scene, her hopping in back of the killer’s vehicle, and going with her friend to visit family, all taken straight from Intensity.
There’s more, but I suggest reading the book, or even the TV Movie, which are both far better.
When the film came out, it was accused of plagiarizing the 1995 book Intensity, from a very well known novelist, Dean Koontz. I have read the novel (it was pretty good) but haven't watched High Tension. From this Ending Explained I noticed reaaaaally striking similarities (the titles are almost the same, too!). The plot is almost the same except the plot twist which doesn't happen in the book. The director said he has read the novel and is aware of the similarities. Dean Koontz said he would not sue because he found the film so puerile, so disgusting, and so intellectually bankrupt that he didn’t want the association with it that would inevitably come if he pursued an action against the filmmaker (via Wikipedia)
it is disgusting & diabolical pure evil
I know my comment was old, thanks for background. I read the book, loved it and grew mad at the striking similarities.
I dig the build up to the reveal, things like the mom's last word being "why" and the killer just happening to miss Marie each time, but I can't bring myself to like it. Maybe it's because Marie is so obviously about Alex from the start, maybe it's just because I'm tired of the twist being mental illness so often, I'm just not about it though.
It's always going to be mental illness or issues as I prefer for these monsters. People that kill are not mentally sound, everything is wrong with them.
@@nerdycurls6253 But it doesn't have to be mental illness. Not everyone who commits terrible crimes is mentally ill, in fact, best I remember, most murderers aren't mentally ill at all. Some people are just terrible people. You can do something with that, with someone who is just completely awful and out to add another girl to their list of victims.
The vast majority of mentally ill people just want to live their lives and horror movies casting them as murderers doesn't make that any easier.
@@tympestbooks1727 you misunderstood me, I'm not saying everyone with a mental illness is a killer/murder or evil person. I just mean nobody who decides to take another person's life is of sound mind, which is why I prefer to use mental issues. Being a psycopath or sociopath literally means something is wrong with you.
For me at least there is a very clear line between someone with mental illness which like you said are living their own lives peacefully, and as I would put it someone with mental issues who goes around harming others. However, I understand how my original comment looking back sounds problematic which I will apologize for, people with mental illness are not the "bad guys".
@@tympestbooks1727 That's not even true. Most killers and serial killers have at least one mental illness taking part in them becoming that way. Be it childhood trauma or some kind of sexual deviations, it can even be an unhealthy obsession with something(like the girl who killed her boyfriends or smth like that because of numbers she added up even though those numbers had no sense at all). Not to mention all the killers I heard about were psychopaths or sociopaths- and those are mental illnesses.
@@Nekoszowa Dude, any reading I've done has had the rate of serial killers with mental illnesses coming up at around 23-25% of them. That puts them at a slightly higher rate than the average American, around 20% of the general population, but not a majority of them. Now, many of those studies have had terribly low sample groups, but that doesn't mean you throw out the whole study, just that more research needs to be done.
You're also linking a bunch of things that aren't themselves mental illnesses to mental illnesses. Childhood trauma can lead to a higher likely hood of developing mental illnesses later on, but isn't one on its own. Sexual deviations are also something that mentally ill people may have but that a ton of mentally completely healthy people have as well. Same thing for weird obsessions, anyone can develop a weird obsession, doesn't mean that they're mentally ill or likely to be a serial killer.
As to all the killers you've heard of being psychopathic or sociopathic, maybe they were, but so are a ton of regular people just trying to live their lives. The rates for people being psychopathic or sociopathic both come up to about one percent of the population, considering the US has a population of around 330 million as of last year and a low ball estimate of 25-50 serial killers active at any given time, even if every single one of them was somehow either a psychopath or a sociopath, that would mean that the vast majority of people with either illness still tends towards average people.
FoundFlix and DeadMeat have been the two things getting me through this quarantine. So thankful for the hard work both the channels put in. (Also I'm way too chicken to watch horror movies, but I love watching these vids because they're just spooky enough

Can we have an ending explained on "The Hitcher" (1986)?
Such an underrated film, which I feel should get more notice!
Rutger was damn gem. And that truck splitting the body in half scene caught me off guard. No gore but damn if you don't really need that to feel the impact
This movie seems to be heavily inspired by Dean Koontz thriller novel "Intensity", with everything playing about the same way up until the twist in this movie. Even the titles feel similar.
I knew I recognized this story, you just reminded me of the book and I 100% agree. Almost thought this was supposed to be an adaptation of it.
From Wikipedia: "Several viewers of the film noticed striking similarities between the plot of the film High Tension and the plot of (author Dean Koontz's book) Intensity. When questioned at the Sundance Festival in 2004, the director Alexandre Aja acknowledged that he had read the novel and was aware of the similarities. On his website, Koontz stated that he was aware of the comparison but would not sue "because he found the film so puerile, so disgusting, and so intellectually bankrupt that he didn’t want the association with it that would inevitably come if he pursued an action against the filmmaker."" As someone who has both read the book and watched the movie, there are scenes in the movie that are almost EXACTLY like the book, almost as though the book was used as an outline for what they filmed. In fact, up until the big twist reveal, it is almost exactly the same. When this movie came out, I had coincidentally read the book like a month before I saw it, and I was literally calling scenes as they were happening. It really ruined the movie for me when I got to the end expecting a writing credit for Koontz and seeing none. Aja calling them "similarities" is dirty feeling.
I was unaware at the time I first saw this. But it's why I refuse to watch the movie Gravity, with Sandra Bullock, as great as she is... They ripped off Tess Gerritsen's book and didn't give her any acknowledgment - at least Aja said that he was reading Intensity, and it may not have been an intentional thing, but it's irrelevant - and Gerritsen did sue the studio (Sony, maybe? Can't remember. Doesn't matter anyway). So on top of all the BS space stuff and things that had fixes but were done to serve/prop up the plot instead (Clooney could have just been pulled back to her, like, wtf?), it's a movie I refuse to see. I've enjoyed TG's writing for a long time and she was totally shut out and told to be grateful, basically, because the movie was considered a success.
I read Koontz' book a million years ago but every time I hear someone talk about it this movie (which I haven't seen, I'm more of a horror movie synopsis fan 🤣) I go "this is totally Intensity by Dean Koontz". I mean even the title has the word intense in it. How glib can you be...
Yes! Intensity was one of the first thriller books I read so I’m very biased on this subject, but read the book instead.
I found out about the movie a few years ago and I’ve always been on the fence about watching it because I heard it was a rip off, but I didn’t know about the twist. This just made me firmly never want to watch it.
Chyna was a resourceful and fully developed character who had a whole arc of going from someone who did her best to remain quiet and hidden to protect herself to a full on badass who becomes the person she needed as a child. They replaced this strong and well rounded character with a mentally unstable lesbian obsessed with a straight girl.
Like woooow, let’s not only rip off this book, but then also butcher the ending to have the whole story not make a lick of sense AND bring in that old stereotype of the “crazy obsessed lesbian”.
This is definitely more than “inspired” by Intensity, but more like a reverse fanfiction of the novel. I mean even the name, is extremely similarly. When watching this video it was immediately clear, and I went directly to the comments to find if others did too. I love Intensity, the suspense and battle of wits is amazing, and I don’t think that the movie twist improves the original plot.
That's funny that Koontz was calling the film those things, because the film is so much better than his book. Koontz is a terrible writer.
This upload literally came just after I finished rewatched Ryan Hollinger's video on New French Extremity. It was so well timed it felt, weird.
I did a thesis on New French Extremity breaking down the sub-genres. What a thrill to watch at least a dozen movies, then dissect and write about them, and more of a thrill to read the finished project. My therapist is one wealthy woman. But, the conclusion was the French must name every trend they invent, or it's not worth their effort.
As soon as you said “Can a twist ruin a movie?” I realized I’ve seen this movie on accident and was confused with the twist
I was too when I saw it. I’m still confused with this video XD
This was the only movie I snuck into as a kid. I made some silly mistakes along the way so they got me as the movie started 😕. Would have been a crazy experience as a 10 year old.
As a kid, I thought the movie's plot was so ingenious.
Watching it again as an adult, there were many holes to the story. It was still an okay movie at the end of the day.
Its a great book read the real story intensity by Dean Koontz
@@LeolaGlamour technically High Tension stole almost everything from the book. But the killer is real and not a split personality.
@@quinnzyker6521
I know this. Its why I'm giving credit to the REAL story by Dean Koontz.
@@quinnzyker6521 Read some of the book, but it lives to its name a little too intense for me. And I've read quite a few Stephen King.
@@LeolaGlamour I definitely plan on reading or listening to the audio book
Your uploads are some of the highlights of my week. You've also saved me so much money lol
I see people rarely mention Frontier(s) when it comes to french horror. It`s epic.
Another delightful New French Extremity!
I've owned this DVD for more than 10+years but when I saw you popup on my phone to review this movie I scrambled so quickly to hear your walk- thru of this film with excitement . I love your personality with storytelling thank you lol
High Tension: me waiting for FoundFlix's verdict on a movie
So glad it's that time of the week again.
Facts
I was in a similar boat where when I first watched the movie I was almost angry (more frustrated) at the twist and how it made any sense, but upon later viewings and some research it makes much more sense and is actually one of my all time favorite twists. I found out that one of the primary things that you see in people who committed a horrid act but don’t even realize is the sense of creating a separate self to take the blame-it’s a coping mechanism, and intended to avoid the guilt by asserting that this other separate entity committed all of it-its very interesting to see this executed so well-truly represents that frame of mind in a horrible way.
What can I say, I love watching every movie you breakdown. You make me go back and re watch every movie with a keen eye. Thank you
Me, like thirty seconds in: I smell lesbians
After the shower and headphone scenes: I called it. Just wait.
wym just wait
@@yt-sh Till the end of the video, and, bam, I called it
I think it's more like lesbian, singular
The moment he talked about Marie creeping on Alex showering through the window I was like "The twist is that she's the killer aint it?" And then the mom said why, and that confirmed it.
the first statement were my same thoughts.
This was the first horror movie I ever watched. The beheading while she’s in the closet scarred me for life. I wish I could forget the ripping skin.
First horror movie I saw was Poltergeist (I'm old). Dunno if you've seen it, but there's a scene where a dude rips his own face off chunk by chunk... Wish I could forget that one too Lol.
@@Kendro311 I found that movie hilarious
first horror movie ever? oh my you have no idea
@@Chris-ci8vs back then it was pretty horrific. By today standards with better effects, it made them look rather comical but back then it was as realistic as it could be.
@@Kendro311 😂 I couldn't even watch that part as a kid . Freaked me out ! Even til this day it is still freaky .
It felt like they got to the end, realized they were way under on time, and said "quick, add this twist to extend it." A good twist should add to the plot, it shouldn't undo everything leading up to it.
No they stole the plot of everything else, couldn't keep the true ending because that would be a complete rip off and created this twist to sloppily hide the fact he stole the whole plot of intensity and book and movie by Dean Koontz.
at least someone gets it :D bad writing has gotten so much worse, and more acceptable as time goes on.
@@santioliva
But its not bad writing, the true ending is pretty good. Had Dean decided to make a twist it probably would have been great as well because he'd have written it differently.
It doesn't undo things though, it add greatly to the story. This movie was amazing.
@@LeolaGlamourmovie is superior to that book
Not only my favorite channel, but also a Muse fan??? Too good to be true.
I’d love to see you do an Ending Explained for The Number 23 with Jim Carrey. It was a trippy movie that I really enjoyed and would love a full explanation of it :D
I think this was also known as Switchblade Romance when I saw it in the UK when it came out. Still remember it quite vividly.
Yup.
And Haute Tension as well.
Please review Tumbbad Indian movie. One of the best horrors with a great story line. You would absolutely love it. They spent 6 years to make the sets authentic, with trees growing over etc. Music D with Jesper Kyd, master mind behind Assassins creed scores.
Thank you for this recommendation! Now I know what to watch tomorrow 😁
So glad you did this movie!!! I was wondering why it hadn't been reviewed by the channels I follow yet. It's a CLASSIC!
This is 1 of my favorite thrillers that not many people know about.
Raining outside. I got food. FoundFlix uploads. It's gonna be a good day.
Thanks Chris that line about how perfect the family is helped me understand the motivation if Alex’s family is as perfect as presented, a lesbian daughter would throw a wrench in that dynamic so because Alex would not switch sides,Marie got rid of those that would obstruct her path to be with Alex. Jimmy’s death was just plot convenience
I love watching your summaries and reviews for movies like this. There’s too much gore for me to enjoy so I appreciate this! I would love for a Martyrs review! I don’t know if could get myself to watch that one despite loving horror!
i literally would have never guessed you’d be covering this movie! i love this one, and all french extremity films, personally!!
I’ve loved this movie for over 10 years and I will continue
I gotta be honest when she mentioned the dream I was like "oh, she's gonna be the killer. God, that would be *way* too obvious..."
"Just woke up and its time for some fresh air. Ah French people"
Me: standing outside in my pajamas for my morning joint... guess I'm French
Are you smoking a cigarette?
@@iamthephantomlord please be sarcasm...please. 😩😂
My perspective on the whole film really changed as the killer actually turned out to be Marie all along, that's quite a twist
Lol, yours was the first comment on the section, so you've spoiled the ending of a video about spoiling the entire movie in 20 min.
I mean why would someone read the comments without watching the whole video first?
@@jeffshinoda1380 so, the format of youtube has the comment section showing a top/ most recent comment on a video when you start watching it.
@@cylusonsteam can confirm
I would be mad if the movie wasn't 19 years old.
What are your thoughts about the recently released Conjuring 3 trailer? I hope Demon nun makes a small cameo in the film like she did in Anabelle Creation
At first I really thought this was going to be a serious movie through and through but that twist turned it into a comical moment. Great breakdown as usual, this is exactly why I watch your channel.
I love how you explain movies so matter-of-fact.. makes me less scared
as soon as you mentioned martrys i knew this one would be rough:/
Last time I was this early, my mother hadn't realized I was a disappointment yet.
😂
Its going to be okay
Dont worry.
We are all disappointment
The first ultrasound?
Pls keep posting. I fall asleep to these every night
I loved this film, and the others from this period of French horror, in particular Inside, Frontier(s), Martyrs, Ils, Calvaire. PLEASE do a video or a series covering some of these, or that period in general!
I always loved the musical score to this movie. It’s really dark, grungy electronic music. So perfect for the plot.
what’s up y’all! BREAK OUT THE POPCORNNNNN 🍾🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yeeeeaaaahh
I love this guys vids for not putting ads
Thank you for doing this I've been waiting for this 😃
I was gonna go to the store. It's 40 minutes away and closes in an hour. I guess I'm going tomorrow.
I literally watch these while doing anything. ANYTHING!! It launches im watching! And judging by proxy...🤭
I'm not sure if anyone else says this, but thank you for always putting videos out. It always makes my day when there's a new video out.
I love your hair cut 😊😊 and wow that's a twist whoa
I remember seeing this when it first came out and being caught off guard by random scenes so many times. Such a good watch!
Foundflix being a muse fan is everything I needed in life
IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE TITLE OF THIS MOVIE FOR YEARS I HAVENT SEEN IT SINCE I WAS A KID!
I just noticed that in the still of Maria at around 19:50 you notice on her shirt has there’s an x slash mark across where she was later stabbed with the crowbar.
It’s a subtle pattern, just slightly darker than the rest of her shirt and more of a wrinkled texture, but it may possibly be a foreshadowing detail as well.
Edit: you can notice it in other stills, but that one was the most noticeable to me due to being after the explanation, and also because it was on screen longer.
I know its been almost a year, but still, this "mark" is on the wrong shoulder, so its just a shirt, nothing more. i.imgur.com/bn8aK12.png
Please do an ending explained for the new Shudder movie "The Power." They do a decent job wrapping things up, but I'd like to hear your take on the story and the slow-burn of the film itself.
I planned on watching "The Power" today. Hope it's decent.
"...I can make a whole video just about that stuff." Please do - would definitely love to watch that too!
Hey foundflix! Can you cover Ghostland? I saw it a few days ago and loved it! It's about a psychological trip of two sisters while fighting off two maniacs obsessed with dolls. I think it's really interesting how the story unfolds and it would be so cool to hear your analysis on the film.
Lots of love from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
I just googled this.... fml
Not enough people have seen that... criminally underrated!!!
I was very disappointed because I rooted for Marie so badly.
Also Rabid where this lady goes through an experimental medical treatment after being disfigured. It’s on Showtime not sure about other platforms
I LOVE THIS MOVIE. i first watched it back in middle school 06’-09 and it still haunts me to this day haha. i’m extremely happy ur making this video, i can never talk about this movie cuz it’s so rare for me to find people who have seen it!

Howdy big time fan love the video! Would love to see an ending explained of Children of the corn the original one please.
I'd really like to see you talk about WΔZ. This movie traumatised me when i was younger and nobody ever talks about it...
I watched this movie when I was little with my mom (she was very into horror movies) The scene of the guy having the dismembered head suck him off has been engraved in my brain ever since I was like 8 years old. To the point that I forgot the rest of the movie except that one scene. I even thought I made it up! so you made that memory come running back at me 😂😂
Odd mom
I watched it with my mom too. I warned her it was going to be in French and she didn't believe me. Lol

I would have never heard about half these movies without this channel. Oh wait I have seen this movie, it was so wild seeing it a a kid
High Tension frequently makes worst twist ending horror movie lists, but I like it. Don't mind the ending at all.
The problem is that it doesn't make much sense overall. It could've been an interesting twist but it feels like cheating. Too many moments don't add up, including the fact that Marie never have any "blackout" at any moment.
@@enriquesanchez9016 but once we find out that the film is from the viewpoint of an unreliable narrator, things don't have to add up or make sense. I think that's the point of having an unreliable narrator, you can't trust they are telling you the whole story.
@@Roger-le1bv That's exactly right. People just aren't grasping that these events are from Marie's perspective until the very end. This is set up right at the beginning very clearly, but people just aren't paying attention.
@@Roger-le1bv that's called bad writing as she wasn't actually narrating, we see events play out and then when she's the killer, that's not an unreliable narrator, she was not telling a story, it's a bad twist it's not illegal to like it, movies a ripoff anyway
@@thedevilsrockstxr2309 wrong
Great movie, I was just thinking about this movie the other day and wondered if you'd do a video about it, Crazy twist
I remember seeing this movie in the theater with my girlfriend at the time, not knowing anything about this movie and being absolutely blown away by the brutal violence. We had no idea what the movie was about before going into the theater. To this day High Tension remains one of the crazier movie going experiences I’ve had while watching it in the cinema.
Would love to see a video from you about French extremity films like Spooky astronauts and Disturbing Breakdowns as per Spooky Rice! Thank you for your wonderful content

45 minutes before I lay down to get rest for work on Monday. I have a love/hate relationship with your upload schedule 😂
First time I saw this a long time ago, I really was not expecting the twist.
Idk this movie but god bless this man for only having an ad at the end of the video.
I can’t handle suspenseful movies but I always wanna know what happens thanks dude! I love how cheerfully you talk about the most messed up movies 😂
