Episode 69 - High Tension (2003) - "A History of French Violence"

This week on the pod, pack your bags, hop in the car with your closest gal pal because were headed to a secluded house for the weekend to… Study? This week we watched the 2003 French Horror film High Tension! Join us as we finally take this opportunity to dive into the genre of New French Extremity Horror; a genre with some very familiar entries if you’ve been listening to the pod for while! While we meander down these halls of French cinema we also take a stroll down Pete’s own memory lane of how impressionable this film was on him as an up and coming horror fan in the 2000’s. And while High Tension may not be the gnarliest, the most offensive or that sort of “one and done” kind of film, it serves as an interesting turning point in the genre; one where French films influence American Films that then again influence French films. It’s all one big international conversation and the text reads blood, guts and chainsaws! Plus, we talk about the major continuity flaws of this film and it’s (Spoiler!!) twist, Aaron and Pete soft launch their new YouTube channel ideas, and finally, we tackle the real issues at hand, the ones dividing people across borders: Male Circumcision! Dicks aren’t the only thing getting cut on this weeks episode of “I Didn’t Need to See That!” Follow us: Email: [email protected]: @Ididntneedtoseethatpod
