Plot.
French filmmaker Alexandre Aja writes and directs the slasher film Haute
Tension, given the English title Switchblade Romance. Best friends Marie
(Cecile De France) and Alex (Maiwenn Le Besco) go out to the countryside
to visit Alex's parents. However, a homicidal delivery man (played by
Philippe Nahon from Gaspar Noe's brutal movies) ends up at their house
and starts killing everyone. Alex and Marie fight for their lives with
help from several means of weaponry. Switchblade Romance was shown at the
2003 Toronto Film Festival as part of the Midnight program. The film was
aquired by US distributor Lions Gate Films in 2004 and quickly put into
turnaround as an NC-17 release, though plans for that were scrapped due
to a lack of theater support of the controversial rating. Retitled High
Tension, the R-rated version is missing one minute of grisly gore and
features a redubbed audio track by star Cecile De France.
