A completely irredeemable & utterly reprehensible movie. It wants to be hicksploitation--especially via the Hills Have Eyes meets Boogie Nights plot that shows similarities between horror and porn setups. But it doesn't go anywhere. The characters are too stupid to root for, let alone live. The scares lamely mistake gore for thrills. And the villains exist solely to be hillbilly killing machines. And by God, that Fleetwood Mac scene should go. Avoid. One of the worst films of the year.

Overall, good. I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t quite as unhinged as I had hoped. Maybe that’s for the best. While it leans more in to standard slasher territory than I had hoped, it does have some thought-provoking things to sort of say about the adult film industry and aging. The acting was also very good, and I found myself caring about the characters more than I thought I would. It’s actually pretty well made and even creepy at times. This is slasher territory done right.

X is a raunchy homage that's doused in tension and erotica. Pacing in the first 2 acts is terrific, as it undresses it's layers of gerascophobia. The cinematography is clever, it turns the audience into a helpless voyeur, edging them with each new feat of suspense. But it begins to unravel in the 3rd act, losing control and rushing it's climax. I was left feeling blue-balled, as it throws it's thoughtful overarching themes away and settles for grindhouse tropes. Overall, its a fun one-nite-stand

I'm not religious but the decades-long cliche of painting religious types as repressively cruel & evil is as tired as they come & so West loses alot of points for doing it again here. Which is unfortunate because he's doing something genuinely new here in terms of theme & motivation in horror films. It's also unnecessary since the story works just as well if it were only about the understandable desire of any senior (religious or not) to feel desired. Still it's amazing to be original in genre.

Far more than meets the eye, especially its comment about age as a source of insecurity and how people might consider themselves less attractive/undesirable as they become older. It’s also rather well made, builds tension efficiently and just plain fucked up, and Mia Goth, I mean, praise the Lord.

There's the Ti West I've waited for since HotD; at once a visual 70s throwback and the sort of slasher we've been lacking the last few years - one with actual characters and some underlying and not TOO overworked and resolved themes, but without the need to be overly nice about it. Could it have used a little more actual tension in the third act? Probably. Could the whole prostetics thing be better? Maybe, but come on, it's Texas Chainsaw Boogie Nights, whaddyawant.

Surprisingly, X (2022) is lighter on horror than your typical slasher. Instead it feels like this little homage to 80’s horror with a little 70’s flare of society. It wants to say a lot through even it’s more egregious elements, and I think actually makes it more creepy than I would’ve thought. By no means is it perfect (I’d prefer to not stare at Kid Cudi’s ass all day lol) but I think it definitely carves out a little space for itself inside of this genre quite nicely.

This was very entertaining. It managed to have a bit of a 70s Grindhouse feel (Goth really looked the part), and the setting and interplay between the characters set up the impending carnage nicely. There was a lot of homage to a variety of sources here, which was fun. If I was going to grumble, I'd suggest that the old antagonists weren't particularly well realised, and I'm not sure whether we were meant to feel some sympathy for them. Well made, if imperfect, and quite enjoyable.

I was aware that this movie was (mostly) highly appreciated among horror movie fans as I started watching it. And sure, it had some good, interesting moods and a 70's setting is always welcome. I wasn't getting what the big deal with it was, though, but then it progressed and turned weirder and weirder... and I did really love it. That soundtrack is banging, the plot is all screwed up and twisted and it's certainly something you haven't seen before.

Ti West is quite a master of editing and framing but his use of technique is academic, so that this becomes a feature-length mock-up à la Tarantino's Grindhouse trailers. The subtext of many a horror film is brought to the front in that the sorrows of death and decay become the literal antagonists, packed in Harmony Korine/Jackass old person make up and send to kill a haphazard bunch of sexual offenders. It's icky, contrived, and smug; just depressing fucking cinema.

Finally, a horror film dares to scare its audience with the ravages of old age. Beyond the porno and blood & guts, there is a story about the power of love. All the prosthetics did start to feel like I was watching a Karl Havoc prank. In the end, this is a fun slasher, and those don't come around too often anymore, so I am just going to enjoy it.

So there are some interesting ideas here, but, goddamn, it feels less like a movie and more like some film studies textbook. Yeah, okay, cool that's nice you're paying this cavalcade of homages to all these horror classics, but there's really little else here. Certainly not any tension, certainly not any character development, or, for that matter, any real entertainment. Ti West is technically savvy and it shows often in this film's very competent cinematography, but besides that? Ehhh

X pays explicit homage to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (and director Tobe Hooper’s lesser-known follow-up, Eaten Alive) while drawing from a deep well of low-budget horror killfests (and offering at least one nod to Boogie Nights). That knowingness can, in the early stretches, make X feel like a horror movie in quotation marks, but West’s technical skills eventually make them disappear.

Some cool bits in the first hour -- lake scene, of course, and the slow-burning sense of dread --, but then it seems to fall too easily on some A24 typical, calculated frequence of over-studied genre experiment and oh-so-philosophical stuff that simply wasn't there in the first place. Killings are way less cool then they should, maybe because everything else seems undercooked and too gourmet -- moral panic, the grindhouse and the porn, the aging and the arrogant young. Mia Goth is a blast.

This is the most formulaic thing Ti West has done to date. I guess it's a savvy popcorn retro-horror that hits all the right notes if you're uninitiated or nostalgic, and has some grotesque humor and jump-scary gruesomeness. I can see why some might enjoy it. I guess I've just seen too many of these, and for me, even taking something this tacky and doing it well doesn't quite salvage it.

Not particularly great. Falters the most in the back half when the killin' takes place. Chief problem is everybody going off on their own, and a couple of other dumb moments. Sure there are some boobs to see, if that tickles your fancy, but it's not really worth seeing for that. Super predictable and the old people are weird, not scary.

It promises skin and gore, and it delivers them insanely well. It promises to be a retro grindhouse outing, and it does it well with deliberate references to Tobe Hooper (and not just the Hooper film you expect), Lucio Fulci and hardcore pornography. It promises to be a slasher film, and it's one of the better ones I have seen in decades, managing to be mildly surprising.

I thoroughly enjoyed You're Next, but wasn't so hot on House of the Devil, so my expectations going into this were tempered- not just for that reason, but also because I had no idea how shit was gonna hit the fan given what I knew going in. But damn, I loved this. Spectacular performances, Brittany Snow killing it in a role I never saw coming for her, the continued rise of Jenna Ortega, Mia Goth being Mia Goth, amazing 70's atmosphere, clever writing. Props to Kid Cudi, too, guy can act.

Both invokes past horror movies (of the 1970s) and makes unusual decisions in a bid to invert the kind of implied sexual morality of some of the clichés stemming from that past. After an effective and interesting setup, some of the later scenes explaining the older couple’s psychology and relationship are rather clunky and overly obvious, but the filmmakers can be credited with the attempt to at least do something, which is enough to differentiate it from most examples of this genre.

X was better than I expected in its capability to mimic the aesthetics of 70's B movies and pornography with an entertaining vintage style. The old Texans hate the young hippies who threaten their values with sexual freedom and progressive values, where the youth become an object of desire for the old lady, who was once a rebelling young woman herself. The letter X is a symbol for the crossroads of those two generations as much as the symbol of pornographic imagery. Fun to watch.

X is a phenomenal movie that uses one of the best horror scores in some time. It is certainly up there in my rankings with Hereditary and It Follows for its originality points. The setting is perfect, and I’ve never been so creeped out by an old couple before. Deducted a full point for every character acting ditzy while their lives were at risk and confronted with extremely evil, vile, and repugnant treatment by the old folks. It kept me engaged constantly and kept upping the ante. Bravo!

Ultimately a slasher flick with a drizzle of arthouse atheistic, hewing most closely to the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre (not in plot necessarily, but in settings & tone). But it's filthy and muddy and bloody enough to entertain if you're in the mood for something a touch more lurid than the slicker affairs of your modern Screams, Halloweens etc. Insert porn-brained commentary about Mia Goth and Brittany Snow's tits. ("Geez Ytadel, is that all you care abo–") Yes; yes it is. Deal with it

More a character study than a straight horror; it chooses to empathize not with the unfortunate smuts making a roughie for Betamax, but the tired old sluts yearning for their glory days. It’s like The Hag in Room 237 got her own film and more lore. It may be trying to make a statement about the schism in film between the acceptance of sex vs. violence… I hope I’m wrong. Honestly the slasher bits are fine but the care that went into replicating the look of basement regional porn was exquisite.

(Reviewing in full in conjunction with Pearl) Ti West bursts back onto my radar with a pair of splendidly-put-together thrillers - and I'm actually happy that I watched these in timeline order rather than by release. West is really talented, aptly juxtaposing Pearl's beautiful delusions with the real world she's living in, and setting an immaculate tone. More so in Pearl than in X, I love the use of the continuous shot gimmick. The characters could be more compelling, but Mia Goth is excellent.

I laughed hard a few times at this horror movie. The premise is straight up stupid, but there were a few unexpected turns. I really liked the late 1970's porno feel to it, and the source of the horror was unexpected. Worth watching, but keep the little ones away from this, as there is a lot of murder, blood and gore. I enjoyed it too much, I must have been in the mood for some blood and gore.

Expected more from this, given the response. Ortega's character was the highlight (she's really come into her own this year!), even if she wasn't in a lot. Had the best arc. The tension before all the killing was pretty good, but then the movie flips and... these old people are not remotely scary. It was kind of ridiculous, honestly. It couldn't tank the movie but it seriously hurt it. Film was shot well, but it did come across like it was trying too hard at times.

An immensely satisfying and creative film, taking cues from the classics in the genre, but still remaining its own unique slasher. Not exactly scary, the jump-scares are pathetic, but it plays out more like a brooding drama, establishing each character within this specific time period and their relation to changing cinema and sexuality. But once the bloody horror hits in the last third, it hits hard, and is a joy to watch.

X is a fun fucking horror movie. No seriously, it has been a while since I have seen a horror movie risk it all and just have this much fun. The cast is great, the actors are clearly having a blast playing up the sleaze in what essentially is horror movie Boogie Nights. Mia Goth, Brittany Snow, and Kid Cudi especially stand out. X is not a groundbreaking horror film. Nor does it pretend to be one. Instead, where X excels is that it plays up the tropes of the genre to the movie's favor. Direct

X is certainly an experience. It's not the type of movie that's really for me, but I appreciate the art. Mia Goth, playing dual roles, is incredible and her ability to walk the line of innocent and then vengeful across the entire franchise really carries these movies. I also appreciated the film's commitment to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre sweaty and grungy aesthetic, which shrouds the movie in a really unsettling curtain of tension because you never quite feel safe the entire time.

Turns the conventions of a FRIDAY THE 13TH slasher inside out, indulging in genuinely unsettling, ghoulish horror set pieces instead of smash-and-grab torture porn (and giving the villains a weird, gross poignancy). The lambs-to-the-slaughter are a rough-edged but likable bunch, and West shows some true imagination in his staging of the inevitable bloodshed, leavening everything with a gurgly sense of humour. Too self-conscious tips of the hat to past horror landmarks is the only minor quibble.

This was a pretty poor movie that had some fairly interesting elements in it. Acting was decent and the cinematography at times quite clever. The retro vibe worked well for the most part and even the writing had hints of originality in it. Just too bad that the movie drags in all the wrong ways. A lot of scenes were not only very long but kinda painful (and not the horror-kind painful) to watch. This wasn't helped by the terribly shallow characters. A decent swing but mostly a miss.

A big step up for Ti West, but far less original than I was expecting. There’s some great performances (duh, it has Mia Goth and Jenna Ortega who are always excellent) and Ti West’s direction is top notch, especially for the first kill. For a slow burn (West’s usual type), the build up is pretty solid, but it didn’t quite stick the landing for me. It’s fairly predictable outside of maybe the kill order, not many standout deaths, and a kinda lackluster ending. Still above average overall.

Another banger performance by Mia Goth. There's a joy and pure love for film in the direction that has hints of Tarantino. For example, the crocodile chase scene was a piece of high artistic quality. Ti West is finding his roll. Another slamdunk ending just like in Pearl. I recommend seeing Pearl first, and then X - instead of the order they were released. The chronology makes it way cooler and doesn't demote Pearl to being 'a prequel'. Music works very well too.

It does not take itself too seriously without being parody, and is a bit genre savvy without being annoying fan service. The character set up makes you interested in them without being cheesy. It tells of a story I would have watched even without the horror. The tension was well done, they handle the creepy well. The retro setting was fun.

It took 24 hours for the meta aspect of a film about making an artistic porn to dawn on me. The motivations are universal yet unique. It's rare for films in the genre to be worth our time.

Nice fleshy horror with surprisingly much backbone about aging and sexuality. Looks amazing with a great cast and satisfying dismemberment.

In spite of the scares and kills being predictable textbook horror, "X" is an engaging, intriguing film. Its biggest strength is its clashing themes of old age, youth, sexual laxity, religious moralism, envy, sexual craving and feeling undesired. The cast is really good, there's some neatly grotesque prosthetics work, and the overall vibe combines suspense, discomfort and even emotional resonance pretty well. It holds few surprises after the main plot idea becomes apparent but remains enjoyable.

X is the kind of movie I really enjoy. It builds to the tension and when it begins it does not let up. Mia Goth is absolutely amazing in both roles and this film would be horrible without her. There were a couple of twists that I did not see coming and they were fun. It kept you actively engaged with the themes of aging and pursuing dreams at all costs. What a crazy good film. Stellar cast and wonderful style. It had Texas Chainsaw vibes with the throwback style and setting.

Thriller où les tueries s'enchaînent dans la deuxième partie seulement. C'est triste, 60 longues minutes, avec un acteur moche qui joue la pornstar, pas du tout sexy, et pas assez narcissique. A l'instar des autres rôles masculins, des épaves. La deuxième partie plus généreuse, mêle références solides et leçons de mise en bouche, un régal ! Carton plein pour Mia Goth !

I was not ready for this, got caught completely off guard. X is a weirdly original and disturbingly funny film.

Solid cinematography and effects and hints of comedy suggest that there is a fine slasher film in here, if only the director held his material lightly and tickled it. Instead he grips it in a fist and yanks as he tries to, without a sense of irony, make it something better. No wonder no old folks came out to audition. And my god the chafing.

Faltou o último passo, mas traz questionamentos interessantes mesmo assim. Corrido no final, mas satisfatório em certo ponto.

The acting was decent aside for the antagonists who sucked ass and had to also try and act in too much shitty makeup. The direction ranged from interesting to pretentious but never really took me out of the movie. The story however was dumb as fuck and the kills were extremely lazy and underwhelming.

I'm puzzled by the positive reception it got from critics. Sure, it's visually strong, well acted and full of callbacks to other movies of the genre, but plot wise it's still a dumb slasher movie. Too slow in the first half and boringly predictable in the second. Why did the movie expected me to feel anything when the characters inevitably get murdered but did nothing to make me care about most of them? The only interesting part of this, the old couple and its motivations, barely got explored.

What a blast. This was fantastic fun overall. Horror fans warning: It really isn't scary, but it's very creepy and can make your skin crawl. It's also a riot. Great stuff. 7.7 for me. (Top 5% of horror scores for me are 7.5 or higher). Glad to have Ti West back. Re-watched 4/25/24 w a friend that hadn't seen it. Enjoyed it yet again.
