Review of X

X (II) (2022)
4/10
Tries to be too many things ends up being not much
31 December 2023
The early scenes with the fixed long shot look perfectly 70's horror. That got my hopes up. Add in the creepy farmhouse and some decent moments of building tension along with a couple jump scares and I was thinking it was going to be quite good.

The sex scenes are a bit more involved than the early horror, Friday the 13th, type movies; but it still follows the formula.

Then about halfway through, it switches to the gross/icky type of horror movie. And around then it also becomes the very predictable horror movie.

The main cast was actually really good. That gave me a lot of hope for the movie early on. The old couple was not good, especially the 'old' lady and their story line was also pretty bad.

A key to good horror movies is wanting to yell at the main characters to not do something or to get out of there. But no matter how much I liked the main characters their deaths were so predictable and the old couple was so distracting that it ruined the shock.
