X (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Candice Frederick Huffington Post It's crass and ghastly, with an on-the-nose premise fit for the often- sensationalist slasher genre and the salacious X-rated cinema embedded in this story. Dec 16, 2022 Full Review X (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Geordie Gray The Australian The characters are fleshed-out and kooky — you’ll mourn when they meet their inevitable slaughter. And for a slasher, the acting is remarkably good: Jenna Ortega and Mia Goth in particular are scene-stealers. Dec 3, 2022 Full Review X (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Celia Mattison BuzzFeed News X reanimates perennial fears of aging, older women, and one’s fading relevance. Nov 8, 2022 Full Review X (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Brittany Patrice Witherspoon Pop Culture Reviews Ti West’s direction paired with Eliot Rockett’s cinematography is a damn delight. They capture the late 1970’s with style and excellence. Rated: 4.5/5 Jul 23, 2024 Full Review X (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Shakyl Lambert CGMagazine Although a slower burn than its trailer would suggest, X still manages to be an effectively nasty 70s slasher throwback, with enough sex and violence to satisfy horror fans. Rated: 7/10 Jul 12, 2024 Full Review X (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Kyle Logan Castle of Chills A modern slasher masterpiece that loves its ancestors. Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
