Trailer
Why watch this film?
This is a horror movie that can be considered a tribute to the beloved slashers of the 1970s and also to the porn industry. In the story, a group of young people rent a remote house to shoot an adult film, but the owners of the residence are two sadistic and sexually troubled elderly people, promoting a massacre in the film crew. 'X: The Mark of Death' plays in a common place, explores little the daring of horror films, goes for obvious paths and stays very much in the box. There are some great moments, but they don't save the director Ti West's ('The House of the Devil') idea. The big highlights of the cast are Mia Goth, who plays two characters and has the resilience that every slasher production needs, and Jenna Ortega, who also did the new version of 'Panic'.

Pearl
After honoring slasher horror in the acclaimed 'X: The Mark of Death', filmmaker Ti West returns to the end of the 1910s to tell the origin story of the character Maxine, who here takes on the name Pearl and is once again brilliantly portrayed by Mia Goth ('The Cure', 'Suspiria'). In the plot, which features photography reminiscent of Technicolor films such as 'The Wizard of Oz', we follow the story of this young woman who can no longer bear to live in the countryside with her abusive mother and her vegetative father. Through highs and lows, mistakes and successes, Pearl eventually reaches a breakdown - for not being able to take it anymore, for wanting change, for always being put aside. It is a much more mature production than the previous film, both in terms of direction and script, since here the feature film knows how to develop its characters well and, above all, create a tense atmosphere even with absurdly colorful and sunny scenes. Once again, it is worth highlighting the impressive performance of Goth, ignored at the 2023 Oscars, which shows her full potential. It is no wonder that even filmmaker Martin Scorsese praised the film and performance.
Horror
The Nightman
The Nightman a dramatic thriller that explores the dangerous boundary between love and darkness. The story follows a young pregnant woman who begins to question the perfection of her boyfriend upon discovering his possible involvement in mysterious disappearances and murders, linked to his sleepwalking behavior. With praised performances and precise direction, the film delves into complex themes of relationships and personal dilemmas, keeping the audience engaged in its dark suspense.
Abigail
Abigail demonstrates why we should keep an eye on the director duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, especially when they have original material at their disposal (they also directed Scream 5 and 6, with mixed results). Abigail is a film that manages to balance the terror and tragedy of its characters with the absurdity of its premise, thanks to a clever script that plays with the conventions of vampire literature, careful direction, and a phenomenal cast (led by Mexican actress Melissa Barrera and Dan Stevens) that fully utilizes their roles. The plot follows a group of kidnappers tasked with a delicate job: to kidnap a millionaire's daughter for ransom. However, it all turns out to be a trap: beneath the guise of a 12-year-old girl, the victim is actually an ancient vampire who likes to play with her food. Like Ready or Not in its time, this film is self-aware, pushing its story and violence to the most absurd and fun limits without falling into self-parody. It won’t change the history of horror cinema, but it’s an excellent (and even stylish for a film of its genre, I dare say) choice for a fun time at the movies with friends.
