“X is a very good horror movie,” King wrote on Twitter. “Frightening, smart, knowing. Oh. And fun.” King’s resonant endorsement generated a lot of enthusiasm, and some have indicated that they will see the movie this weekend on his recommendation. X marks Ti West’s first movie in eight years but joins his already impressive blockbuster that includes The House of the Devil and The Innkeepers. The film stars Mia Goth (a cure for wellness), Gina Ortega (Scream (2022)), Martin Henderson (the episode, Grey’s Anatomy), Scott Miscudy (aka Kid Cody), and Brittany Snow (Pitch Perfect, hairspray).

Those who ventured to see X in the theater got a surprise after the credits ended, the official trailer for the movie’s prequel, Pearl. Secretly shot at the same time as X was filmed and set sixty years earlier, the film features Mia Goth as the titular character, reprising her second role from X but without the old lady’s prosthetics. The release date of the movie has not been confirmed but the movie is set to arrive soon.
“It was really betting, ‘Well, if we write a good script, why do they say no?'” “Share West with Los Angeles Times about making Pearl side by side X “We joked that the most we could do in A24 with this movie was make two of them. For a studio that’s constantly making challenging, progressively interesting, filmmaker-driven [projects]producing two films at the same time falls under the umbrella of what’s so cool about what they do.”
“as much as X Is this a love letter to cinema, somehow Pearl – It’s just a completely different kind of cinema. The director added that the matter also sets the idea for the third film, which has a completely different character.
