‘X’ Slashes into At-Home VOD This Thursday!
After making over $11 million in theaters, Ti West and A24‘s slasher movie X is now headed home, first to the virtual A24 screening room and later in the week to traditional PVOD.
You’ll be able to watch X in the A24 Screening Room on Tuesday, April 12th at 9pm EST, with Ti West’s new movie then available on Premium VOD on Thursday, April 14th.
The Blu-ray and DVD will later release on May 24, 2022.
From critically acclaimed director Ti West (The Innkeepers, The Sacrament), the horror film stars Mia Goth (A Cure for Wellness, Suspiria, Emma), Brittany Snow (Prom Night, Pitch Perfect, Pitch Perfect 2), Jenna Ortega (“You,” 2022’s Scream, The Babysitter: Killer Queen) as well as Grammy Award® nominee Scott Mescudi (better known as Kid Cudi, Don’t Look Up).”
In the new movie, “A group of actors set out to make an adult film in rural Texas under the noses of their reclusive hosts — an elderly couple with a farm and boarding house for rent. But when the couple catches their young guests in the act, the cast finds themselves in a desperate fight for their lives in this tantalizing slasher from writer-director Ti West.”
Meagan wrote in her review, “X is a crowd-pleasing doozy when it comes to brutal bloodletting and kills. Some deaths leave you queasy, and some will leave you cackling with glee. All of it is immensely satisfying.” She continued, “A deceptively simple setup gives way to a go-for-broke horror-comedy that leaves you breathless from laughter and nail-biting tension.”
