X | A24 | March 18th, 2022 | an homage to 70s horror films starring Jenna Ortega, Mia Goth, Kid Cudi, and others

[SLAM!]

 

 

X is the latest horror film championed by A24 to be releasing in theaters.

 

Interestingly, a horror film about garden gnomes called Unwelcome was previously booked to release on March 18th before X took that date. Unwelcome has since been removed from the schedule.

Looking forward to this 

 

 

Also looking forward to Unwelcome, which looks to be keeping its UK date thankfully.

I’m excited for this, the promo has started in the UK and it’s getting the same date. Woop. 
 

Trailer is excellent.

I appreciate that Jenna Ortega is getting more roles.

I hate the trailer. Looks dumb. What is selling point? A porno + Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Meh. Seems even derivative of Eli Roth. Ti West does nothing for me, either. 

 

But Jenna Ortega is a star and the buzz on this is very strong. Should play well at SXSW

It’s such a well cut trailer. The use of the pan down title card at the end is very unique. The selling point, I’d say, is a 70’s horror throwback. 
 

Certainly looks the most mainstream of Ti West’s films. I love The House of the Devil. Terrifying.

She’s just about to play Wednesday for Tim Burton on Netflix. I think that’ll be giant.

Looks like a movie the Dead Pit guys would go see back in the day! I’d go see this! 

[Krissykins]

It’s premieres at SXSW tonight. 
 

 

Hoping it can open decently next weekend in the US.

Completely forgot it was coming so soon, really looking forward to it - and hoping for some good buzz after the premiere.

Probably not too shocking but that's definitely a movie I would pay to see. It's a good trailer with obvious Texas chainsaw massacre inspirations and being born in the 70s and a child of the 80s I'm ready for a good old fashioned gory slasher horror pic that doesn't involve anything supernatural or time travel or hereditary like psychological plot pieces. Just give me a mad man with an ax or a chainsaw killing people and they can take my money.

I really hope the trailers are selling it as is because if it turns into another vapid "elevated" horror film midway through, imma riot lol.

I've heard very good things about the movie. I've said before I think it looks stupid and I dislike Ti West but I expect very strong word. It's a SXSW film so it'll play well.

 

It's A24 horror so a 5-6m OW seems ideal

[baumer]

I certainly hope this is advertised as is as well.  A bunch of people go to this place to make a porn film and violence ensues.  They never really show the killer in the trailer so hopefully we get some kind of Leatherface knock-off and/or homage. As I said, I'm ready for a good old fashioned slasher pic.

Loving these reactions.

That would be ideal but I’m not sure how much they’re advertising it. One update in the tracking thread suggests that range would be out of reach.
