2024 appears to have been formed to be the flag year for our horror fans, with long-awaited releases like "Alien: Romulus" and "Quiet Place: Day One" hitting theaters this summer In addition to this thrilling lineup, there's "MaXXXine," the mystery horror sequel to the "X" that promises to keep the audience on the edge of their seats

There's no more time to revisit the critically acclaimed film "X" as horror enthusiasts eagerly expect the filmWith an impressive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, "X", which premiered in 2022, is back in theaters This fascinating story, directed by Ti West, captivated the audience with its cold story and suspense atmosphere Now fans have a great opportunity to experience the horror anew before jumping into the next chapter of this thrilling saga

Set in a remote farmhouse, "X" follows a group of filmmakers who embark on a risky venture to create adult films in rural Texas The farmhouse is owned by an elderly couple named Pearl (Miagos in makeup) and Howard (Stephen Ule), but they are not as fragile and innocent as they seem As the group shoots their films, the plans begin to go sideways as they find themselves in a desperate battle for their lives 

With its atmospheric setting and brilliant suspense, "X" plunges viewers into a world of visceral fear and psychological distress Director Ti West did an excellent job of making the audience feel pure horror, and the cast provided both comedic relief and tension in perfect quantities The main characters include Maxine (Mia Goss), Lorraine (Jenna Ortega), Bobby Lynn (Brittany Snow), Wayne (Martin Henderson), Jackson (Scott Meskuddy) and RJ (Owen Campbell) 

The great thing about the movie "X" is that it's part of the trilogy The prequel film "Pearl" was released in the same year (2022) and focuses on the old woman Pearl in a youthful age (again played by Mia Goss) Teetering on the edge of madness, she desperately chases Stardom as a means to escape the monotony, isolation, and loveless existence of life on her parents' farm 

The upcoming film "MaXXXine" is the third film in the trilogy and will serve as a sequel to "X" But the mysterious killer threatens to ruin her plan for leaving a trail of blood in Los Angeles It's worth watching "X" in theaters this month before the sequel is released on 7/5 

Critics and viewers clearly love this horror film, released in 2022, and have received positive reviews even after 2 years "X" currently has a very high score of 94% on Rotten Tomatoes 

Australian Geordie Gray said: "We are very proud to be a part of our community and we are proud to be a part of our community"The characters are fleshy and creepy - you'll grieve when they encounter the inevitable slaughter And for the thrasher, the acting is very good: especially Jenna Ortega and Mia Goss are Scene stealers"

age Jake Wilson also shares a similar opinion about the character: "West's trademark slow build-up gives us every opportunity to imagine our own version of Mayhem on the way" To hold our attention in the meantime, he has another trick up his sleeve: to make his character funny enough and likeable

being a slasher movie, "X" knows how to do Gore right, especially when it's related to the plot David Fear of Rolling Stone agreed and said, "Bloody" It's more ugly than the back alleys of a big city that's brutal, and it's littered with guts than a slaughterhouse This is how you like your Slasher flick horror and trust us when you say Ti West has your back

But not all critics enjoy films like this "The West wants to punish everyone involved in the gory way that was played for laughter," wrote Dmitry Samarov, a reader in Chicago

"X" will return to American theaters on the 18th as a nationwide fan event This means that you only have one night to watch a hit horror movie on the big screen, whether it's for the first time or re-viewing You can visit Fandango's website to see which theaters are showing this movie near you 

Not only do you get to see the "X" in action again, you also get a sneak peak of the upcoming "MaXXXine" This will be an exclusive post-credits sneak peek at horror slasher, so if you're a fan of the trilogy or just want to have some bloody fun, it's definitely worth going 

Ti West's horror trilogy is highly recommended just because of how intense and fun they are Every movie brings something new to the table and you'll wonder what the hell you just (in the best way) experienced 

Don't miss seeing the "X" in theaters before West's 7th release on May 3 If you want to get involved, it's worth streaming the prequel movie "Pearl" in Prime video too
