All 3 Movies in Ti West's 'X' Trilogy, Ranked by Scariness

Although the last decade has not exactly been a poor one for horror, it’s been quite some time since genre buffs have enjoyed a genuinely exciting new slasher adventure. Franchises like Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street have been out of theaters for over a decade, and the most recent iterations of the Halloween and Texas Chainsaw Massacre sagas were very disappointing, and did nothing to win over new fans. Nonetheless, Ti West created a new slasher icon thanks to the creation of the X trilogy, which starred Mia Goth. While those that had seen High Life or Suspiria may have been aware of what Goth could do within the horror genre, her performances as Maxine Mix and Pearl have become some of the most iconic within the last decade. A24 may have once been known as a studio that only developed independent films, but West’s trilogy proved to be a surprisingly successful franchise.
