It Follows & X

Click here to send us a message!This Halloween season, we're taking a look at two recent horror films, 2014's It Follows and this year's sleeper hit X. Both films take the "sex is bad" trope so common in horror and use it not just for their final girl, but as motivation for the villains themselves! It Follows is the story of Jay, a woman who gets more than she bargained for after a one night stand, while X follows an adult film crew to a remote farm-house they've rented to film their latest movie, much to the chagrin of that farm's owners. Matthew and Brian paired these movies up for those reasons, and we found it opened up a much larger discussion on modern horror films such as Barbarian, Candyman, the new Scream entry and A24 as a brand vs A24 as a film studio. Beware of spoilers for those other films, and join us as we talk Ti West, John Carpenter and much, much more!
