	Magneto Ignition for Gas Engines - Sparkplug Magnetos
		With the advent of the spark plug and battery operated "buzz coils", high tension magnetos came into being to eliminate batteries and feed the higher voltage needed to overcome the open spark plug's high resistance gap.
		High tension magnetos also use capacitors (condensers) across their "external points" because sparking is now undesirable as it causes unnecessary wear and tear on the point surfaces.
		A high tension magneto uses a "secondary" "step-up" winding to create the higher voltage, much the same as in a step-up transformer.

	Blood-Bath and Beyond Alexandre Aja's "High Tension"
		An image from "Haute Tension" (High Tension), which screened in the Midnight Madness section of the 2004 Toronto International Film Festival, where it was acquired by Lions Gate.
		If "High Tension" is any sort of filmic litmus test, the French don't hate us so much as excel in pointing out both facets of our laudable cinematic past and our shameful present.
		"High Tension" proves the most aptly titled film of the year; once its simple set up -- two college girls, a family, a farmhouse, and a psychopathic killer -- begins to uncoil, the result is a visceral assault akin to being pinned down and slapped silly for 80 minutes.

	Monsters At Play: High Tension Review
		Admittedly there's not a whole lot of new in High Tension, but the real beauty here lies in the fact that Aja takes these familiar conventions, and winds up using and abusing them to their fullest potential.
		High Tension does the dance well, with an even balance where the most familiar and subtle of stalking scenes keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat with their heart pounding and racing.
		In the case of High Tension, is a horror film that truly does deserve your attention, simply because it's one hell of an effective horror flick.

	High Tension - Rotten Tomatoes
		In the 1970s, moviegoers reveled in a new sub-genre of horror films that were low on plot, required only the most basic acting skills, and called upon dumb teenagers to die onscreen deaths in a multitude of strange and horrific ways.
		High Tension thrills you with its bare bones brutality.
		Aja takes his time with his film, correctly building tension by letting his camera linger on Marie as she hears screams and slashes and rarely letting the air out to give moviegoers a chance to breathe.

	High Tension (2005): Reviews
		High Tension often feels like a ’70s exploitation movie in the best sense; unfortunately, the ending is so bad that it mars everything that comes before.
		The twist in "High Tension" is so improbable, you have to wonder if this is some sort of art house revenge against the popcorn flick.
		In the midst of "High Tension('s)" asinine revelation, there is terribly violent, but terribly effective scene involving a chainsaw and misguided female desire.

		The version of High Tension that is finally getting a United States release has been slightly trimmed (to get an R rating) and dubbed into English.
		Despite not containing a moment of story-based originality, High Tension is arguably the best horror movie since The Blair Witch Project (and that covers a lot of ground).
		High Tension is a nerve-jangler that keeps the level of suspense high, throws in moments of fl comedy, and turns everything on its ear in the final ten minutes.

		From its disorienting opening scenes to its "Fight Club"-styled plot twist ending "High Tension" rattles and bounces off of the understated lesbian relationship between Marie and Alex to anchor the depraved madness onscreen to a character-driven story buried underneath.
		The sexual tension between the women is escalated when Alex inexplicably stops the car at night near a giant cornfield and temporarily abandons Marie in a cruel but playful prank.
		"High Tension" is a formula horror picture that culminates with an oblique plot twist that’s oddly satisfying for its dead-end brilliance.

	High Tension review - movie review of the Alexandre Aja film starring Cécile de France
		High Tension is shot in gritty desaturated colors.
		High Tension "unofficially" ends with the family murder, in the first half of the film, and Aja clearly looks like a filmmaker who knows how to create a premise but is not able to convert it into a full feature film.
		High Tension is purely a work of mise-en-scene and acting.

	High Tension (2003)
		In the case of High Tension, the answer is yes.
		High Tension is incredibly gory (and not with irony), disturbing and at times, sickly scary.
		With a story that's almost too simple, High Tension takes two female friends/law students Marie (Cécile de France) and Alex (Maïwenn Le Besco) as they take a trip to Alex's parents farmhouse in the desolate French countryside.

	Movie Review - High Tension
		After hearing from certain critic and fan circles that High Tension was the horror film of the year, my interest was certainly peaked.
		The problem with High Tension isn’t the acting or in the premise, but in the unbelievably silly and stupid plot twist that hits you over the head like a sledgehammer about 3⁄4 of the way into the flick.
		High Tension however, seems to be using it as a gimmick, and no amount of explaining can make up for the gigantic plot holes that the twist creates in the overall film.

		The cruelly disloyal High Tension opens in Southern France, in what appears to be a mental institution.
		In classic slasher movies, which High Tension has some reasonable pretenses of being, it is the girls with sluttish tendencies who find themselves in the most trouble.
		But the most maddening thing about High Tension is that these gripes wouldn't matter if the story didn't take a sharp and intensely stupid twist in its final act.

		''High Tension" is from France, and it has a distinctly European sense of dread.
		The culprit is an old beast in overalls and a cap, with a fondness for running his straight razor ominously along bloody skin.
		''High Tension" is being released by Lion's Gate, which also put out last year's stomach-turning ''Saw." The studio has become quite the grind house -- a home for filmmakers who want not only to sicken, but also to provoke.

		High Tension takes much of its plot from Halloween, featuring a solitary woman running from a blade-wielding killer.

		Aja and Levasseur have stripped "High Tension" down to its bare essentials in homage to 1970s horror films such as "Halloween" and "The Hills Have Eyes" (Aja has been attached to remake the latter).
		I originally saw "High Tension" on a foreign DVD last year, but it's been redubbed and trimmed to avoid an NC-17 rating for its U.S. theatrical release.
		Part of the joy of "High Tension" also lies in the fact that you'll never see the movie in the same way twice, as Aja tinkers with point of view and audience expectations.

		Additionally, the new version of HIGH TENSION has been re-edited slightly for an R rating by the MPAA, resulting in a running time that is about one minute shorter than the original.
		"The version of HIGH TENSION that you are about to see is a dubbed English translation of the original French-language film, featuring Cecile de France’s own voice in the part of Marie.
		HIGH TENSION was conceived as an ode to the 1970s’ American horror/slasher films I loved as a teenager; so it is a source of great satisfaction to me that American audiences will now be able to experience the film on the same visceral level as French audiences, without the distraction of subtitles.

	High Tension : filmcritic.com Movie Review
		Though he claims it was inspired by the classic ‘70s slasher classics of his youth, Alexandre Aja’s High Tension is unfortunately as indebted to gimmicky pseudo-horror flicks like The Sixth Sense and Identity than Last House on the Left.
		If High Tension’s equating of homosexuality with homicidal rage is a disappointing lapse into old-fashioned narrow-mindedness, an inability to sustain considerable suspense is the film’s fatal flaw.
		Aja sculpts his set-up with an eye toward economical chills and plentiful, stylish gore, and the first third – as well as a deliciously taut moment in a gas station bathroom in which the typical “killer checking out each stall” progression is upended – has an unpredictability that lends to the atmosphere of helpless dread.

		To put it bluntly, High Tension is the girl who had a sex change and left you fuming.
		The movie was looking at 3.5 marks for a while, but I'm dropping it to 2 marks in an effort to make people understand that if you want to manipulate your audience, then you at least better make the payoff worth it.

		But beware: High Tension is not quite the same film that you've heard the raves about.
		The bulk of the badly dubbed dialogue occurs during the first 20 minutes, as Alexia and Marie drive their car through cornfields en route to Alexia's parents' house.
		Aside from a couple of postmodern touches, High Tension feels very much like a '70s exploitation movie, presenting a villain who does many utterly repugnant deeds to the point that even pacifists in the audience will be rooting for him to get the beating of his life and a painful death.

		High Tension remains firmly among my least favorite films this year, a status not repaired by the movie’s DVD release.
