2022 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: Ti West's X - IONCINEMA.com

At a secluded farmhouse in Texas, a film crew arrives to shoot an adult film. Their hosts, a reclusive elderly couple, take a special interest in their young guests. As night falls the couple’s leering interest turns violent.

X Trailer: 'Hollywood, Here We Come'

 

[Stringer]

A24 is so good with their trailers. I'm in.

 

[Closerframe]

The trailer was okay. Despite my undying love for A24 as a studio, they’ve made some questionable movies recently and this director doesn’t give me much faith.

 

[Luigi]

Already had a thing for Mia Goth but seeing her with that southern accent, oh my.

 

[moviedoors]

Looks like a return to form for Ti West. Love the 16mm!

 

[Persona]

This does not look great. But could be fun, I dunno.

Not one I will be taking the wife to see!

 

[Luigi]

Starting to see ads pop up on YouTube.

Premieres tomorrow at SXSW.

A24’s ‘X’ Has Shot A Prequel, Ti West Reveals At Pic’s SXSW Premiere – Deadline

Texas Chainsaw meets The Taking of Deborah Logan via a porno then....

Ti West Unveils Teaser for Surprise ‘X’ Prequel ‘Pearl’ at SXSW!

Ti West’s Pearl rewinds even further to 1918. Because it’s a prequel, to describe the trailer might spoil some of X‘s surprises. But it looks even more insane than X, and the trailer teases that it’s “coming soon.”

A24 will be releasing X nationwide this Friday. Exclusive prequel footage will be available only in theaters.

Btw if anyone wasn't already aware, Stuckmann doesn't release reviews of movies anymore unless he actually likes them.....

 

[Nardz937]

This movie was fantastic. Probably my favorite slasher since the original Scream.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Very happy to see this reviewing so well. The trailer has been a constant watch for me since it dropped, and it seems the movie lives up to the hype.

 

[Nardz937]

I read there was a post-credit scene, but when I seen it there wasn't one. Seems some got it and some didn't.

Apparently it's the teaser for the prequel.

 

[Gothamsknight]

Probably gonna end up seeing this tomorrow or monday.

My review
At the Movies with Kane and BN

A wild and fun homage to Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the 70s grindhouse era (that also subverts some things).

That prequel footage looks insane as well.

 

[Luigi]

Seeing this tomorrow, can't wait.

 

[Gothamsknight]

Booked my ticket for Tuesday. So excited!

 

[Brotherhood]

Saw it last night. Loved it

I'm kinda confused:

Spoiler

Why were Howard and Pearl killing people? Are they just crazy or did they have a reason like they hate porn? Is that the reason for the damn prequel coming? Ti West realized he didn't have a motive so filmed a prequel simultaneously to give an answer?

 

[Closerframe]

Wow, was I wrong about my intial impressions about this movie! Easily the best slasher I've seen in the last ten years.

Spoiler

It's heavily implied that they've been killing people for awhile (did you see the car in the lake?) because Pearl is clearly looking for a bond with someone but continues to be unsuccessful.

 

[Broseph44]

Is this theater only right now?

 

[Nardz937]

Is this theater only right now?

Yes, at the moment.

 

[Broseph44]

Yes, at the moment.

Ah okay I guess I’ll be seeing it in a few months then.
