"If "Boogie Nights" and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" had a baby, X would be their demonic love-child!" A 24

Texas 1979. Eine Gruppe junger Filmemacher macht sich auf den Weg zu einer abgeschiedenen Farm mitten im Nirgendwo, um dort endlich den Film zu drehen, der ihnen zum Durchbruch verhelfen soll – ein Porno. Doch als die zurückgezogen lebenden Farmbesitzer dem Treiben ihrer Gäste auf die Spur kommen, gerät der kreative Trip zum Kampf auf Leben und Tod...

"Horror filmmaker Ti West ("The Hous of the Devil") directs a blood-soaked ode to '70s grindhouse cinema with sex, drugs, and the worst B'n'B ever. It's 1979, and a group of amorous filmmakers set out to a secluded boarding house in rural Texas to make a high-class smut film. As the camera rolls and the clothes come off, their elderly hosts begin to show some increasingly voyeuristic and violent tendencies. Buckle up, because there's plenty of twists and turns in this goddamn, f*#%ed-up horror picture.
Although filmed in New Zealand, X perfectly captures the isolation of its pastoral Texas setting. This gore-filled slasher from A24 pays equal tribute to horror classics like "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", '70s smut like "Deep Throat", and countless films that start with a stop at a creepy gas station."

"Der fantastisch aussehende X ragt aus der Masse an mäßigen "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"-Nachzüglern meilenweit heraus." Filmstarts
