Summer Slasher Season reaches the early noughties with 2003's Haute Tension (High Tension) or for those that prefer more on the nose titles Switchblade Romance.

We discuss this controversial French horror thriller that is often cited for it's divisive twist that many believe ruins a fantastic suspense filled modern slasher. The CMTH Boys come in to talk about the film and twist offering reasons for and against it's divisive structure. We discuss the incredible practical effects, music and as the name implies tension of the film including its status as a New Extremist horror film alongside films like Hostel and A Serbian Film.
