The "X" Trilogy Review

 I was bored and starving for a good movie to kick off the "halloween" season earlier this month.

Unfortunantly, I found these movies instead. 

A trilogy of films I've heard a few good things about and decided to give a try. Here's my short review on each one. 


X

The year is 1976 and a group of young adults go off to a farm to film a porno. Little do they know the elderly lady who owns the land (with her husband) is a pycho killer.

Yep.... that's it. VERY slow, boring and overall DUD to kick off the trilogy with. 


The second installment is the best of the 3 (which isn't saying much) but it takes place in 1918 and focuses on the old lady when she was younger and how she became who she was in the first movie. I enjoyed it being a "day time" horror movie. The setting and costumes were nice. The story doesn't play like a horror until the very end, with the best scene going on while the credits rolled. 

If you haven't noticed already, it's the same girl in all 3 films for some reason.

The last (I hope) and latest movie to come out takes place in 1985 and circles back to the girl from the first movie. She's now a porn star (good for you) and is trying to break into movies. But must avoid a serial killer who is somehow connected to her. 

The ending is ridiculous and makes for a terrible ending to a dismal trilogy. 

Waste of time. Megan and I are going to start re-watching old movies from now on. Nothing new is good anymore.
