This all-female horror anthology features four dark tales from four fiercely talented women.
XX is a female-directed horror anthology with admirable ambition but uneven execution. The four segments vary wildly in quality — 'The Box' and 'Her Only Living Son' stand out while others feel underdeveloped. The concept of an all-female anthology is distinctive and the film has a genuine voice, but several stories lack satisfying resolutions, dragging down the Ending score. Acting is competent across segments, and the cinematography shows flashes of style. The novelty comes from its curatorial concept and diverse directorial voices rather than any single breakout segment.
