    X (2022)
    A film that takes up the essence of classic slasher films, adding its characteristic and original touch. Ti West dazzles with a brilliant production with a simple but good plot. A very enjoyable work for fans of the genre. The director demonstrates the quality and potential he has with this type of films and A24 once again says present.

    Mia Goth is a beauty and excellent actress. What a great level of acting he has and left reflected in every scene of the film. Her role as Maxine and an elderly Pearl is the best you can see in these 100 minutes. Jenna Ortega as Lorraine is incredible, her naturalness, sensuality and expressions are brutal. Kid Cudi and Brittany Snow are very well matched.

    "X" covers very important topics and adds other concepts that provide a great experience. From fidelity, masochism, morality, desire, terror, youth, dreams, survival and the psychological aspect. Each one of them well explained.

    The photography, the soundtrack, the color tonality and that exchange of scales between scenes is to be applauded. In addition, you can add that genius of blinking between scenes that provide continuity and relationship with what is heard and demonstrated. That addition of how to shoot a movie is incredible.

    Another very notable point is the makeup. An atrocity. What great success in the details.

    A movie that is enjoyable even if it starts slowly, but gets better as the minutes go by.

    The movie has one of the most disgusting, strange or uncomfortable scenes, but it is very good.

    An instant classic in the horror genre!
    This was the first movie in Ti West's Filmography that I watched and it's the movie that made me instantly a fan of Ti West. X (2022) is one of the greatest horror movies of the 21st Century.

    Positives of X (2022): Ti West did a phenomenal job at making this movie feel like movie from the 70s and it also feels like you're watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The performances from the cast was amazing and the characters are very well written. Also, this is the movie that helped catapult Jenna Ortega to a full blown Scream Queen. Mia Goth was phenomenal as both the character of Maxine and the villain of Pearl. The kills were both gory and very artistic. I also appreciated how Ti West included some fourth wall tapping dialogues in the movie.

    Overall, X (2022) is hands down Ti West's best film to date as well as one of the best movies from A24. GO OUT WATCH IT AND BUY IT!!!!!
