In this episode, we break down Alexandre Aja’s High Tension (2003), a ferocious entry in the New French Extremity movement that fuses raw brutality with psychological collapse. Join The Dale, Cea, and Twan as we dissect this blood-soaked slasher, a film that begins as a home-invasion shocker and ends as a hallucinatory study of obsession and repression. Tune in as we break down the film’s legacy. We’ll talk about its place in early-2000s horror, its controversial narrative pivot, and why High Tension still divides audiences two decades later.
