Episode 110 – High Tension (2003)

It’s there’s one thing we know about the boys of Dark Night of the Podcast, it’s that they love themselves a proper, masculine, truck-driving lesbian! And few lesbians read quite as lesbianic as the androgynous and truly badass Marie from the ever-divisive 2003 French gore-fest High Tension. This early Alexandre Aja title has caused much contention amongst horror fans and for good reason; it throws a serious curveball at its viewers that has led to many a raised eyebrow and plenty of room for debate. But controversies aside, this movie also offers viewers some truly intense moments of drawn out suspense, a cement saw vs a car windshield, a man receiving oral pleasures from a decapitated head, and one of the best executions of a throat cutting to date. What’s not to like?! The tension is high this week over at Dark Night of the Podcast, and that’s exactly how Troy and Roger like it!
