I agree that
Haute Tension has generally fallen out of favour, perhaps due to the implausibility of the ending, but I really like it and find its good points easily outweighed the negatives.
Frontiers definitely has a serious point to make, and makes it quite well, whilst being extremely nasty into the bargain!

Unfortunately the US dvd is long since deleted but i'd recommend a watch if it pops up on Netflix etc. |
I haven't seen that one, but will keep an eye out for it, so thanks for the recommendation.
