Buckle up, partners! We dove into Ti West's 2022 new release, X, which has received a lot of buzz for its style and homages. We were surprised by this movie's tone and restraint rather than the subject matter since this slasher grapples with aging, youth, beauty, sex, counter-culture, and one very patient alligator.
