‘X’
A small group of young, attractive, extremely horny people hop in a van and set off into the hinterlands of rural Texas in search of adventure, only to stumble upon a farmhouse populated by some less than savory characters. If you think what I’m describing sounds like Texas Chain Saw Massacre, you’re not wrong; director Ti West’s X is very much designed to evoke those vibes. This time around, though, there’s no Leatherface, just an elderly couple (Mia Goth, Stephen Ure) who discover that the youngsters lodging on their property (including Mia Goth, Brittany Snow, Jenna Ortega, and Kid Cudi) are there to shoot a porno. You close readers out there will no doubt notice that I mentioned the name Mia Goth twice, and without giving anything away, her performance is pure Doublemint: double your pleasure, double your fun.
