Candice Frederick

Huffington Post

It's crass and ghastly, with an on-the-nose premise fit for the often- sensationalist slasher genre and the salacious X-rated cinema embedded in this story.

Geordie Gray

The Australian

The characters are fleshed-out and kooky — you’ll mourn when they meet their inevitable slaughter. And for a slasher, the acting is remarkably good: Jenna Ortega and Mia Goth in particular are scene-stealers.

X reanimates perennial fears of aging, older women, and one’s fading relevance.

Pop Culture Reviews

Ti West’s direction paired with Eliot Rockett’s cinematography is a damn delight. They capture the late 1970’s with style and excellence.

Rated: 4.5/5

Shakyl Lambert

CGMagazine

Although a slower burn than its trailer would suggest, X still manages to be an effectively nasty 70s slasher throwback, with enough sex and violence to satisfy horror fans.

Rated: 7/10
