For those who don’t know, I’m a pretty big fan of A24 horror movies. I’ve watched a ton of them for the last several years of my life, have ranked some of them from best to least best (because all of them are really awesome), and have specifically sought out opportunities watch them – which is what lead me to X last year.
The gory horror film came out in 2022, featuring a small but powerful X cast, which includes stars such as Mia Goth, Brittany Snow, and the hugely popular Jenna Ortega, who has grown even more in popularity in the last year. But, for some reason, it took me forever to check out the prequel to X – Pearl, the film telling the origin story of the antagonist of X. I had some time off and I decided to sit down and watch it – and oh boy, did I have thoughts. Let’s get into it.
