Movie Review: X
X.
My first thought to myself - alert, energized and to be sure alive, me - as I exited the theater after a watch of the new slasher film, X, was: Is horror having a moment right now, in 2022?

“Sahara,” the 2005 action-adventure flick starring Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz, made $68.6 million. It was the 35th top-grossing film of that year.
The Many Saints of Newark
The Many Saints of Newark
