Retro 70/80s horror with a few new tricks.
Lottsa fun - 8/10

I liked X, but thought it was a bit overrated. I definitely thought Barbarian was superior, easily the best horror film in years.

Not sure which is technically superior in the eyes of a sophisticated film critic or student.

But I can honestly say I enjoyed Barbarian a whole lot more than X.

I liked both films, although I would rate X a little higher than Barbarian.

Accurate comparison. I've made the same one to several friends.

Odd comparison. X is basically a slasher homage.

Barbarian is doing its own thing.

[–] yatzo376 (7724) 2 years ago

But both are recent films steeped in retro 70/80s horror tropes.

I thought 'X' was just alright. A bit slower than expected, but hey both Mia Goth and Brittany Snow get naked.

X was a steaming pile of dog shit
