X (2022) unravels in the claustrophobic confines of a Texas farmhouse where a quartet of filmmakers, armed with dreams and modest ambitions, attempt to shoot an adult film. Their intrusion into the lives of their elderly, reclusive hosts sparks a volatile confrontation that spirals into a nightmarish descent. Writer-director Ti West crafts a tense, unflinching portrait of paranoia and violence, anchored by a relentless sense of dread and a meticulous attention to the quiet before the storm.
