Ti West has written and directed a few well-received horror movies over the years, from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The House of the Devil to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Innkeepers. Now the filmmaker's latest, simply titled X, is being hailed as his 🌌best yet.

Set in 1979, X seesꦑ a group of young creatives head out to rural Texas in the hopes of secretly making an adult film. However, making a porn flick becomes the least of their worries when the elderly, reclusive couple they are staying with catches wind of what they're doing, and the gang find themselves fighting for their lives.

Starring Brittany Snow, Scott Mescudi, Martin Henderson, Owen Campbell, Mia Goth, and Jenna Ortega, who recently cemented herself as a scream queen in, well, Scream, X is being labeled b🎃y critics as "savagely funny" and๊ "viscerally violent" in glowing first reviews. 

Many have compared the new horror movie to The Texas Chai🤪n Saw Massacre, Tobe Hooper's genre-defining classic from 1974, with X holding ౠa 100% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes.

"Ti West's X delivers big on slasher-style thrills, but also adds in a sho💃ckingly powerful examination of aging, the power of beauty, and what happens when one loses that power," says, highlighting Goth's performance as she scores the movie a 4.5 out of 5.

"Benefitting from West’s knack for capturing period vibes and from an unusually engaging cast, the pic is meꦕatier than the average slasher film," writes .

"Without a doubt, X is a triumph in every possible way: it defies expectations, its both thoughtful and thought-provoking in equal measure, andღ the way that West is able to effortlessly build tension and terror thr𓄧oughout is downright transcendent," enthuses.

Many of t𝔉he reactions celebrate the fact that the characters – po🀅rn stars Bobby-Lynne (Snow), Maxine (Goth), Jackson (Mescudi), producer Wayne (Henderson), director RJ (Campbell), and boom mic operator Lorraine (Ortega) – are refreshingly fleshed out.

"What X brings to the table along with its well-written characters, great kills, and patient rhythm of storytelli🌺ng is a genuine meditation on sex, youth, and our collective human terror around aging," says.

suggests that X will "turn you on" and "have your heart pounding" in equal measure, while celebrates how the film finds the "sweet si𝐆de of a Texas Porn Massacre."

Lastly, gushes: "A n♔arratively different beast that demonstrates why West should be g𝓡iven full reign to go full throttle on deranged, savage, and intense horror-comedies more often. Its a blast."
