    Director Alexandre Aja

    I'm a big fan of Piranha 3D and The Hills Have Eyes. Maybe my favorite element of Alexander Aja's filmmaking, which is prominent in both of these 2 films - the cinematography is awesome. Looking forward to seeing what more Aja can create, especially with the kind of 3D technology he used in Piranha. I know a lot of people seem to hate on excessive use of 3D, but if it can be used effectively, I'm a huge supporter. And just as a general comment, I think Horror film is the perfect subject for the use of 3D camera work.

    Anyways… I came across this article at Arrow in the Head about Alexander Aja. I have not seen what the article calls his best film, i.e. "Haute Tension." Anyone who has seen it, care to comment?

    And also your added enjoyment… The Piranha 3D, Red Band Trailer.

    Yeah High Tension is a great movie.

    Hills have eyes was a good remake and like you said excellent cinematography. I havent seen Piranha 3D but I hear good things.

    High Tension and Hills were great, Piranha 3D wasn't as good as the original.

    Well if you like the cinematography of Pirahna you might wanna check this guy out... http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0502954/ Considering he was the cinematographer.

    I like how he's got a good style but he isn't catagorized as one thing. He can do things like Hills have Eyes and High Tension then turn around and make stuff like Piranha 3D.

    Not one of my fave directors, but he's good fun. Like what he did with Mirrors!

    He's one of my favorites with High Tension being his best film, the only film I really don't "like" that he's made is "Mirrors"

    Aja didn't convert in 3D all the sequences he planned to convert in Piranha3D. The 3D was pretty useless for me in the movie.

    "Haute tension" was really great. Looking forward to his adaptation of Cobra anime. Mias n'empêche, c'est con qu'il se soit cassé et ne sois pas resté ici pour faire du film de genre plutôt que de s'exiler et se la jouer j'ai réussi ailleurs HAHA

    It won't disappoint. So far I've gotten a kick out of all his films.

    One of my favourite scenes involves a decapitated head.

    I really enjoy his work! I even liked Mirrors and that is saying a lot since the story line itself was bad but the gore mad up for it in a big way.

    I've always avoided watching Mirrors might have to give it a look.

    High Tension was a really good movie until the end. If anyone has read Intensity by Dean Koontz the story line is very similar in the beginning. I also liked the remake of The Hills Have Eyes, very good job. Haven't seen Piranha 3D, although I did want to see it in theaters, but no one wanted to go. Mirrors wasn't that good. But two out of three I've seen is good enough for me.
