  • 271. Episode 271 - High Tension (2003)

    01:44:50
    This week, Travis is joined by thatoneweirdo Theo of The Part Time Gamers and Rabbit and Red Radio to talk about the 2003 French extreme horror film, High Tension. Travis hadn't seen it before, but it's one that holds a special place for Theo. Is it worth watching? Did Travis even manage to get through the entire movie? It's a rough one, with subject matter and violence to the extreme for sure. But even 20 years after the fact, is it worth watching at all? A hidden gem for fans of horror? Or just another gruesome gross out flick?
