![]() ![]() Charlie Lake, Rallee Radmore, Cori Cruize, Kenna Roswell, and Jacy Masters wear their wild hearts on their sleeves and flip their collars to anyone who tells them, "You can't!" Together, hand in hand, they are an unstoppable force of girl power. My Rating: 5.8/10.​Meet the Wild Hearts Crew - a sisterhood of girls who dare to be different. It just could have been more, especially given the talent involved, but ironically it settled for less. It isn't the most memorable, but I certainly don't have any disdain for it. In the end, its not a bad watch, I wouldn't watch it again, but I certainly didn't mind watching it. Its main problem lies solely in its script, which revolves largely around a smut film production- but takes too many elements and formulaic tendencies from other horror films like Evil Dead, Friday the 13th, The Visit and most obviously Texas Chainsaw Massacre to really stand out on its own and become its own thing. The music is enjoyable and tense, and its pacing can be a bit slow at times, but does allow for an interesting point of view. The cinematography is fantastic and perfectly fits the amitpshere and tone the film is going for. The acting is really good, I love the underrated Mia Goth as always- as well as Brittany Snow, Martin Henderson, and even Kid Cudi did a rather impressive job. Throughout the film the characters often talk about an X factor, something that makes Mia Goth's character special and starworthy- but unlike its mentionings- this film just doesn't have that. Granted, I do enjoy myself a slasher film from time to time- I'm quite fond of films like Nightmare on Elm Street and My Bloody Valentine, but where X faults among the others is through using a rather familiar formula without any true unique purpose. An interesting slow burn, but without enough to make it stand against the countless other slasher films, X is a fine film and another tribute to the iconic genre that made horror so popular in the first place.
