X (2022)

X (2022)

starring Mia Goth, Jenna Ortega, Martin Henderson
written and directed by Ti West

An attempt to shoot a small budget porn film on a farm in rural Texas in 1979 runs into some snags when the elderly couple (who own the land on which the shoot is taking place) discovers what's going on.

Thoughts

I could say more about the movie but I feel as though it would give too much away. For the most part the cast consists of the six people involved in the film shoot plus the elderly couple.

I like the way this film is put together and paced. It is classified as a slasher film but it takes a while before things really start to go downhill and get bloody. The tension slowly builds as the story unfolds. It gets so thick that you can cut it with a knife.

I am not a fan of horror films but every now and then I'm willing to give one a try. I started to watch this movie with the understanding that if it wasn't doing it for me then I would turn it off. I paused it a few times while I was watching it but the further I go into it the more it grew on me. This movie isn't perfect but I enjoyed it.
