What to Know

Critics Consensus

XX's array of distinct female filmmaking voices -- and the empowerment their collection represents -- offer enough thrills to make up for the overall uneven quality that plagues most anthology projects.

rhienna renée guedry Bitch Media A delightful and horrific variety pack. Feb 26, 2021 Full Review Elena Lazic Little White Lies Framed by pretty banal animation, the film as a whole reflects a rather limited vision of womanhood, with three shorts focused solely on mothers. That XX proves patchy is a disappointment, particularly as it is a noble project. Mar 21, 2018 Full Review Peter Keough Boston Globe The four narratives ... achieve varying levels of black comedy and terror with an emphasis on women's issues. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 2, 2017 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The promising concept behind XX draws our interest from start to finish, and the arrangement assures that, if we don't like the current segment, a new one is just a few minutes away. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 5, 2022 Full Review Emma Wolfe SpookyAstronauts Obviously this is a film that everyone was rooting for... but it just didn't thrill me overall. Rated: 3/10 Apr 26, 2021 Full Review Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review Wwith Carillo's creepy Brothers Quay-inspired animation holding it all together, this is an admirable, mostly enjoyable success that I hope inspires a franchise.

Jeffrey P A series of four short films very loosely connected via some creative stop-motion animation. The biggest problem here is that the first short film is so intriguing and makes one want more, that naturally leads to the rest feeling like a disappointing letdown. The second film wasn’t very interesting, we’ve all seen Weekend at Bernie’s, the familiar face was all it really had going for it. By the time the third and fourth tales come along I’ve kinda mentally checked out and they’re mostly forgettable. There are better horror anthologies and there are worse; Tales of Halloween is one of the better Halloween-horror anthologies and will tell you which direction this leans in. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/20/25 Full Review acsdoug D The first of these four horror stories is okay, the other three are pretty weak. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/18/25 Full Review Texas D Dumb unrealistic characters. lol I mean wtf I’ve seen better films from high school kids then this POS lol Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review penguin s All in all, it was an entertaining watch. I found the stop motion between the shorts just as interesting. The 1st really left me hanging, the second was entertaining but had me scratching my head over the main's motivations. It was comical more than scary. The 3rd was by far most creepy and the final, well acted, left me wanting more. It would make a great movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Kevin A This movie is drastically underrated. A movie that consists of multiple mini stories, each manages to capture the different types of horror. If you do watch it, be sure to give a real chance & watch the whole thing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/17/22 Full Review john b Horrendously terrible even for low budget standards. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
