Did get around to procuring and watching 'XX' last weekend. Horror buffs will know this to be an anthology horror in the same vein as the VHS films etc..difference being, on this occassion, all the tales (4 of them and a wrap around of sorts) are all directed by women. Why this was used as a selling point i have no idea. Reason being, granted the bulk of the tales in these anthology films seem to be directed by guys..couldnt give 2 about the gender of the director..its all about the quality of what they deliver. On that note, its just a shame that this film isnt all that and certainly not even close to being in the same league as the VHS films (as a comparrison). The 4th story is by far the most entertaining with the 1st 3 just getting in the way. I was kinda impressed at the ingenuity that went into the wraparound story (of sorts)..namely because its batshit crazy in a non making sense, really out there kinda way. Have certainly seen worse films but given that 3 out oof the 4 main tales are pretty shit, i cant really recommend this film (suggest checking out the wraparound story on, for example, youtube, if you can).
