Lionsgate Celebrates The Release Of Ti West's 'X' By Releasing New Clips (Watch)

Movie Review: Ti West’s ‘X’ Is More About Sex Than Horror

Sex and horror films have always walked hand in hand, but writer-director Ti West takes that to a whole new level with his horror film, about a porn movie shoot gone wrong, simply titled X. On a remote farm, a group of x-rated filmmakers rents a carriage house on a farm to make their porn flick, not knowing that when night falls they will face horror and death. Let me get this out of the way, this movie is only for the grown folks, so make sure your kids aren’t home when you watch it. X, set in 1979, really captures the time with its dialogue, wardrobe, props, and soundtrack (which you can own now) of the time that is recognized for its progressive attitude towards doing the nasty. X is labeled a horror film, and while there are a few scares, a ton of gore, and some tension, the sex overshadows the horror that the film aimed to deliver,
