X, set against the 1970s backdrop, is a horror movie where a group of filmmakers go to shoot an adult film out at some farmhouse, with a masked killer on the loose.

The movie employs shocking suspense techniques to create tension but combines slasher tropes with a critique of the adult film industry as the characters meet with deadly consequences.

It pays homage to classic horror flicks while exploring themes of desire and mortality. Although it has a retro look and some shocking moments, it combines elements of the classic slasher movie and new ones.
