✖ Over the weekend A24 debuted not only their first slasher movie but the first chapter in their first franchise, Ti West's X. A love-letter to both horror movies like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre but also the adult film industry, the film plays with tropes and trappings of the slasher genre and has gone on to critical acclaim, earning a 96% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes along with a"Certified Fresh" distinction.
"X is an extremely good horror movie," King wrote on Twitter."Scary, smart, knowing. Oh. And entertaining." King's ringing endorsement got many excited, some noting they'd check out the film this weekend based on his recommendation. X marks the first film from Ti West in eight years but joining his already impressive filmography that includes The House of the Devil and The Innkeepers.
"It was really just betting on, 'Well, if we write a good script, why would they say no?'" West shared with the L.A. Times about making Pearl alongside X "We joked that the most A24 thing we could do with this movie is make two of them. For a studio that is consistently making challenging, progressively interesting, filmmaker-driven [projects], making two movies at the same time fell into the umbrella of what's so cool about what they're doing.
"As much as X is this love letter to cinema, in a way so is Pearl -- it's just a very different kind of cinema. Which also sets up an idea for the third movie, which has a different vibe altogether," the filmmaker added."I always felt like if you're going to make a slasher movie, you have to make a bunch of sequels."
