In 2022, filmmaker Ti West surprised everyone from serious cinephiles (including Martin Scorsese) and hardcore horror lovers with his fresh and inventive take on the slasher genre with the breakout hit X. Then six months later, West (and muse Mia Goth, in a career-defining performance) then surprised everyone, everywhere, all at once by gifting us with the release of PEARL, the surprise prequel to X.

Yes, of course we're going to double bill these two on Monday, November 7!
