A24 does it yet again. Another masterpiece horror film full of tension that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat. This one is a bit more of a slow burn than their others which is why it starts with a flash forward. Seeing how everything unfolds into the crime scene at the start is so much fun. X is a stunning piece from Director Ti West that’ll make you just as sick as it keeps you engrossed. You never get what you sign up for when it comes to A24 horror the same goes for this one. But just keep in mind when the first sex scene comes on that you signed on for a movie designed to be like an old slasher film about a group of people making a porno. This movie will try to make you uncomfortable for many more things than just the sex. Prepare your mind for the usual creepy vibes and graphic violence, but not as much as a mind melter as normal. Mia Goth is fantastic as both main characters, I could not for the life of me tell that she way playing the old lady as well. Jenna Ortega is having such a great year, this being her third movie of 2022 and it’s only March. And for good reason, she’s so good. Brittany Snow is so great here, but don’t expect to see the same Snow from the Pitch Perfect Trilogy. Kid Cudi is turning himself into quite the actor and I am here for it, he’s really good at it. Martin Henderson, and Owen Campbell are good here too with some great scenes but get the short end of the stick. Stephen Ure also goes through some intense makeup but not as much as Goth. His character never ceased to give me the creeps when on screen. Now, I must do my duty as a cinephile because most people won’t expect this from A24 but please stay until the end of the credits. I won’t say much but I’m excited to see this story continue later this year in prequel movie Pearl. Much like Matrix two and three X and Pearl were filmed back to back reusing sets. X will take you on a journey despite never leaving the farm once they arrive. X will not be for everyone, but if you already know what to expect from A24 then you will love this. I’m giving X a full 10/10 putting right under The Batman. I love this movie so much and I hope more people discover it. -Tyler.
