X
In 1979, a group of young filmmakers set out to make an adult film in rural Texas, but when their reclusive, elderly hosts catch them in the act, the cast find themselves fighting for their lives.
Why it matters
A brutal, blood-soaked throwback slasher that doubles as a meditation on age, desire, and invisibility in rural America.
- Ti West’s razor-sharp direction blends 70s/80s slasher tropes with a slow-burn critique of youth culture and aging
- Mia Goth’s chilling dual performance as the film’s prey and predator elevates the gore-soaked carnage into something unsettlingly human
- Practical effects deliver some of the most viscerally satisfying kills in recent memory — a masterclass in old-school horror craftsmanship
- Perfect for fans craving a fresh spin on slasher conventions that balances raw brutality with unexpected emotional depth
