Why it’s HorroRated
X is a film that understands the slasher tradition from the inside and uses that understanding to make something smarter than most genre entries manage. Ti West's interest in desire and performance and the cost of ambition gives the killings context. Mia Goth in dual roles is the revelation the film was designed to be.
Synopsis
Ti West shot X and Pearl back to back and both are interested in desire, age, and what happens when aspiration isn't matched by circumstance. A film that works as exploitation and as character study simultaneously.
