French film director known for visceral horror films. Director of Haute Tension (2003) and the 2006 remake of The Hills Have Eyes; noted for tense atmosphere, striking cinematography and graphic violence.

Reviews praise Aja's technical skill, tense pacing and visual style while often criticising weak scripts and abrupt or problematic endings. He has directed both original European horror (Haute Tension) and Hollywood remakes (The Hills Have Eyes).

Two DeBaser reviews highlight Alexandre Aja's technical skill: tense atmosphere, strong cinematography and visceral violence. Both reviewers praise direction and set-piece scares while criticising weak scripts and problematic endings. Overall reception in these reviews is mixed but leaning positive.

For:Fans of horror/slasher films; readers interested in tense, visceral cinema and cinematography.

 After viewing it, I feel "High Tension" is a good slasher.
