With the release of A24’s X earlier this year, Ti West made his morally virtuous, blood-soaked film return. The farm-bound slasher comedy was a first for the horror genre as a whole as well as for the director, who hadn’t made a movie in six years.
Under the direction of Nymphomaniac star Mia Goth and starring Kid Cudi and Jenna Ortega, the movie centres on a group of actors who go to a secluded Texas farm to shoot an adult video, only to find out that their elderly hosts aren’t exactly the kindest people.
What begins as a boisterous historical drama quickly turns into an extreme gorefest without ever losing its wry sense of humour.
Are pearl and x movies related?
Pearl and X both clarified that they have no family ties. Actress Mia Goth portrays both roles because X is a thematic film rather than a narrative one. Their goals are one of the unsettling parallels between the two characters.
