We went in blind, it could have been a movie about anything (forcing my brain not to think about some LGBTQI+ plot). However, it was actually about unicorns.
Even if, once more, greedy humans are bad and magical creature are good, the movie was actually very entertaining. I’m not sure if it would have been the same without Jenna Ortega, even if the rest of the casting was also really good and I was happy to see Anthony Carrigan again.
All in all, a funny movie about unicorns, filled with humour, colours and also a bit of gore (when unicorns are pissed off, they’re pissed off!).
In 1979, a group of young filmmakers set out to make an adult film in a rural Texas farm, but when their reclusive, elderly hosts catch them in the act, the crew find themselves fighting for their lives. (IMDB)
It’s definitely an horror movie set around the shooting of a porn, not the other way around. While there are a few nude scenes, X is a slasher with a few well made gore scenes.
However, the gore isn’t what makes X special, the old folks getting horny was far more disturbing and, sometimes, grotesque.
If you’re into slashers but you’re in need of a twist, give this movie a try… The casting is great and the pace of the movie is not too often slowed down. It was nice to see something different without turning into a psychological drama. X remains a slasher, and a good one.
