Alexandre Aja’s High Tension gets brand-new Limited Edition 4K/Blu-ray Dual Edition Box set release Out Now from Second Sight Films

Prepare for some pulse-racing, heart-pounding High Tension. The fantastic French horror from Alexandre Aja
 (The Hills Have Eyes (2006), Piranha 3D) gets a brand-new Limited Edition 4K/Blu-ray Dual Edition Box set
release from masters in the field Second Sight Films. The set is out now.

A new entry to the French extremity movement on its release in 2003, this fearsomely violent slasher stars Cécile de France (The French Dispatch, Around the World in 80 Days) and Maïwenn (One Deadly Summer, The Fifth Element), as two best friends whose sleepover goes shockingly awry.

This brutally violent, fear-fuelled cult classic arrives in the Limited Edition and Standard Edition 4K and Blu-ray versions, on 11 December 2023. Alex (Maïwenn) and Marie’s (Cécile de France) study-weekend takes a savage turn, when a murderous maniac (Philippe Nahon – Irreversible), turns up on their doorstep. As Alex’s family is gruesomely picked off one-by one, and one of them is taken hostage, a white-knuckle pursuit ensues… as Marie desperately battles to save them both from becoming his next victims. Brimming with bloody violence and with a wicked twist in its tail, High Tension is one tense, terrifying terror ride you won’t be able to take your eyes off…

The brand-new box set is presented in a rigid slipcase with new artwork by James Neal with both discs featuring
the film and bonus features. It comes with a 70-page book featuring new essays and the UHD is presented in
HDR10+ and is the only approved HDR version of the film by the director. There’s also a host of brand-new
interviews along with archive content.
