Episode: 6 - High Tension (2003) Review
Description: Modern slashers have been hit and miss (mostly miss), however, there are a few that turn some heads. High Tension is a French slasher film from 2003 that may have slipped through the cracks for many people, but is a thought-provoking horror film worthy of discussion. Director, Alexandre Aja, provides a unique spin on the genre that has brought criticism, both good and bad. Two close friends, Marie and Alex, spend time away from college to study at Alex's family's farmhouse in the countryside. Shortly upon their arrival, they are visited by a ruthless killer.
