X (2022) | Ratings & Reviews

Setting up a fairly profound villain with sleazy confidence, horror filmmaker Ti West delivers the genre money shots with a good blend of shocking sudden dispatches and creeping kills we can all see coming. 

"X is a clever and exuberant throwback to a less innocent time, when movies could be naughty, disreputable and idiosyncratic."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"An homage but also a strikingly original and cheerfully grotesque work, filled with dark humor, relatively complex subtext and gung-ho, all-in performances..."

Chicago Sun-TimesChicago Sun-Times

"(X) brings the slasher back to its fleshy basics, leaning into what made the granddaddies of slasher films so memorable."

Little White LiesLittle White Lies

"There is an emotional heft to what (West's) doing amid all the red-hot naked bodies and still-warm cadavers, a sense of longing and the passing of time..."

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"A film that feels unpinned, ominous, and potentially unforgettable."

Entertainment WeeklyEntertainment Weekly

"This isn’t a reinvention of the wheel, but a reminder of why the wheel became the industry standard in the first place."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"A full-tilt genre experience that is as surprising as it is savage."

Screen DailyScreen Daily

"X is a properly satisfying shocker."

Empire MagazineEmpire Magazine

"Once all hell breaks loose in Ti West’s X, the promise of a genre deconstruction all but evaporates."

Slant MagazineSlant Magazine

"While X is an ingenious rejiggering of genre archetypes, a few shortcomings hold it back..."

IndieWireIndieWire

"X is bloody, ballsy fun."

A.V. ClubA.V. Club

"A movie made with genuine mood and skill and flavour."

VarietyVariety

"A deceptively simple setup gives way to a go-for-broke horror-comedy that leaves you breathless, both from laughter and nail-biting tension."

Bloody DisgustingBloody Disgusting

"A gory retro-thriller with an unusually engaging cast."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"West conjures nasty fun with a genre enthusiast’s expertise and then doesn't offer much beyond that."
