XX – 4 out of 5
Horror is a genre I am very, very critical of. Any time a production is half-assed I find myself checking out quickly. The next biggest problem that comes with this genre is maintaining momentum. Action is easy to sustain, drama is easy to keep flowing and even comedy can chug along no problem and keeping the laughs going. Staying scared, however? That’s a whole lot harder because eventually jump scares get predictable and it’s really hard to maintain a creepy tone and atmosphere that doesn’t start to wear thin as you get used to what you are witnessing. It’s that reason that I’ve found the best examples of horror stories are short films and the best place to find great short horror stories are in anthology features. That’s why I checked out XX and found some neat little spooky tales.
| Whenever I see someone looking out a window all sad and junk, I always think of the Goo Goo Dolls song "Name." It's my curse. |
| Good job, XX. Keeping the tradition alive that kids are creepy AF. |
Inside this film lies four tales of terror. The first revolves around a young boy who, after looking inside a mysterious box, no longer hungers for food. His mother (Natalie Brown) becomes overcome with a feeling of hopelessness as she watches this condition spread to her daughter and finally her husband. The second story involves a birthday party for a young girl and a busy mother (Melanie Lynsky) who is frantically trying to get the event set up. The only problem is she finds her husband dead in the other room and now has to hide the body. Up next is a tale of four friends out camping in the desert and the horrific cave drawings they discover. They soon learn the drawings are actually foretelling of a demonic being that haunts the night. Finally, in the last story, we witness a struggling single mother (Christina Kirk) trying to raise her son (Kyle Allen) in a loving but isolated home. However, her son has a terrible secret that is set to reveal itself on his 18thbirthday.
| In fairness, she sure took her husbands death very well. I probably would have started to run and never stopped. |
The big key element to XX is the fact the shorts were all written and directed by women and have women as the lead characters. “So what? What about men?” says the angry dude who found this blog. The industry has a long and horrendous past that involves degrading woman and, as it pertains to this feature, denying them the opportunities to craft and tell their own stories. We are slowly making progress where having strong female characters leading the charge in films is becoming the norm (much to the chagrin of dudes like the angry guy who found this blog) and now making conscious efforts to make sure they have their place in the director’s chair and penning the scripts is a must-have in order to get ourselves to that gain of equality. And don’t worry, angry dude, we’re not there yet and tons of very talented female writers and directors will be intentionally overlooked by the systemic sexism of the studios and mediocre male writers and directors will still get preferential treatment. However, while this still happens, we get ambitious features like this culminated and released.

Anthology films are not an easy thing to review because most of them are a series of parts and not something that can often be judged as a whole. Yes, there are cases where there are anthology features that have each tale interconnecting and sometimes coming together but often their links are nothing more than existing in the same shared relative space and/or a narrator/host introducing us to the tales. XX is a feature where the stories’ only connection is a stop-motion bumper that includes a doll house with a face and looks like something out of a Tool video and the fact that all of these shorts were created by women. Beyond that, they are essentially their own story with no connection to each other. With that out of the way, I have to say I really enjoyed this film.

For the most part, I really enjoyed each of the stories and found they all did a great job of establishing their premise, introducing their characters and creating an arc in their limited time span. Each one had their own unique tone and atmosphere and each one had their own unique scares and creepy factor. I wouldn’t go as far to say these stories were terrifying but they were creepy and not just a collection of cheap jump scares. The performances on all of them ranged from serviceable to excellent but there wasn’t a single player that looked bad or was phoning it in. In my opinion, horror is a genre that is best served out in small servings and these stories continue to prove it. None of them wasted any time and each were able to tell their tale without feeling rushed.
| "Mom, I'm 18 and have a horrifying secret. I'm too old to hug." |
| I think the mother who dressed their kid as a toilet could have found a more direct way of saying she doesn't love him. |
From a purely personal standpoint, my favorite story had to have been the first tale; The Box. My opinion is that it tells the deepest story and one that develops fantastically. It’s horror is more psychological and it has a very mysterious and attention-grabbing premise. I also really enjoyed the third story; Don’t Fall, because this one was straight, visceral horror and was very fun in its simplicity. Her Only Living Son, the final story, was okay but one I felt needed some more development for it to really resonate. Finally, the second story; The Birthday Party, was geared more to be a dark comedy and it ended up being my least favorite of all four. It’s not a bad film but one I felt was too aloof and too stylized to really feel like it belonged with the other films.
| I have that hunch thing again and I think that thing that is walking down a rocky cliff face is also evil. |
The drawbacks I found with the overall product for XX were very limited and just stem from minor issues held within each specific story. The film as a whole is very solid and it’s a nice example of seeing a group of people, who are otherwise marginalized in both in front of and behind the camera, get a chance to shine.
