In March 2022, audiences were gifted by the A24 horror gods when Ti West debuted his latest creation, X. X follows a young woman named Maxine “Max” Minx (Mia Goth) as she aspires to become a famous adult video actress. Set in 1979, Max travels through Texas with her producer/boyfriend Wayne (Martin Henderson), pornstars Bobby-Lynn (Brittany Snow), and Jackson Hole (Scott Mescudi/Kid Cudi), the director, Rj (Owen Campbell), and Rj’s girlfriend, Lorraine (Jenna Ortega). They find a farmhouse that matches what they’re looking for, and they ask Howard (Stephen Ure), the elderly owner, to rent his guest house. Not long after they begin filming, they notice strange and unpredictable behavior from Howard’s wife, Pearl. Howard explains that Pearl suffers from dementia and, as a result, struggles with sundowning syndrome.
