Critics Sentiment
Pearl climbs into bed with terrified Maxine
Howard expresses disapproval while crew settles into the guesthouse
The film transforms from slow character setup to brutal slasher mayhem when Pearl begins her killing spree.
X builds deliberately through character development and atmospheric tension before erupting into praised brutal violence. Critics appreciated the film's homage to 1970s horror while noting some pacing issues in the first act. The final act's gore and Mia Goth's dual performance earned particular acclaim.
