Director Ti West is the same person behind horror films like V/H/S and The Sacrament, and now he’s teamed up with A24 to deliver a new horror movie in the form of X.
Watch the trailer for X down here:
While no official synopsis has been dropped for X, the plot looks like it will follow a group of would-be pornographers who have suddenly found themselves fighting for their lives after they choose the wrong location to shoot their porno.
The film actually has a star-studded cast which includes Mia Goth (Emma.), Jenna Ortega (Scream), and Brittany Snow (Pitch Perfect). Music fans may also recognize Scott Mescudi, who is known better for his stage name “Kid Cudi”.
Looking back at the trailer, the film actually shares a lot of elements with Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. The group is being warned about an old woman who is not doing so well, and it looks like that same old woman will be the one to take them out one by one.
With today’s horror making Norman Bates’ mom look tame in comparison, we should expect A24 to really up the creep factor when it comes to their original brand of horror. Not only should we expect some creepily put together atmospheres with uncomfortable sounds, but we should also expect some serious, disturbing gore that will be lingering in our heads days after we watch the film.
At least that’s what I’m expecting with the way A24 makes their horror titles.
X comes to theaters on March 18.
