When a police officer finds an abandoned videotape at the end of the trailer for Ti West’s X, he asks his colleague what he thinks is on it. The colleague’s response? “One goddamn fucked up horror picture.” Judging by the sex, blood and tears in this teaser for indie distributor powerhouse A24’s latest, that description sounds pretty spot on. Check out the trailer below.
It’s both written and directed by West, an established horror fiend whose previous credentials in the genre including The House Of The Devil, V/H/S and The Innkeepers. It stars High Life’s Mia Goth, new Scream queen Jenna Ortega, Brittany Snow, Kid Cudi and Martin Henderson as a gang of amateur adult filmmakers that set up their shoot in an elderly farmer couple’s picturesque abode – but when they find out about their X-rated endeavour, things appear to take a dark and bloody turn.
Sound up your street? You haven’t got too long to wait – X is due to be released in cinemas on March 13th.
