What to Know

Critics Consensus

XX's array of distinct female filmmaking voices -- and the empowerment their collection represents -- offer enough thrills to make up for the overall uneven quality that plagues most anthology projects.

A delightful and horrific variety pack. Go to Full Review Elena Lazic Little White Lies 03/21/2018
Framed by pretty banal animation, the film as a whole reflects a rather limited vision of womanhood, with three shorts focused solely on mothers. That XX proves patchy is a disappointment, particularly as it is a noble project. Go to Full Review Peter Keough Boston Globe 03/02/2017
2.5/4
The four narratives ... achieve varying levels of black comedy and terror with an emphasis on women's issues. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 04/05/2022
2.5/4
The promising concept behind XX draws our interest from start to finish, and the arrangement assures that, if we don't like the current segment, a new one is just a few minutes away. Go to Full Review Emma Wolfe SpookyAstronauts 04/26/2021

Obviously this is a film that everyone was rooting for... but it just didn't thrill me overall. Go to Full Review Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review 05/04/2020
Wwith Carillo's creepy Brothers Quay-inspired animation holding it all together, this is an admirable, mostly enjoyable success that I hope inspires a franchise. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jeffrey P @vanillavoodoo1 Sep 20 A series of four short films very loosely connected via some creative stop-motion animation. The biggest problem here is that the first short film is so intriguing and makes one want more, that naturally leads to the rest feeling like a disappointing letdown. The second film wasn’t very interesting, we’ve all seen Weekend at Bernie’s, the familiar face was all it really had going for it. By the time the third and fourth tales come along I’ve kinda mentally checked out and they’re mostly forgettable. There are better horror anthologies and there are worse; Tales of Halloween is one of the better Halloween-horror anthologies and will tell you which direction this leans in. See more acsdoug D @acsdoug 06/18/2025 The first of these four horror stories is okay, the other three are pretty weak. See more Texas D @RT00699891 08/25/2024 Dumb unrealistic characters. lol I mean wtf I’ve seen better films from high school kids then this POS lol See more Kevin A @RT72928352 12/17/2022 This movie is drastically underrated. A movie that consists of multiple mini stories, each manages to capture the different types of horror. If you do watch it, be sure to give a real chance & watch the whole thing. See more john b @RT06516232 11/22/2021 Horrendously terrible even for low budget standards. See more isaiah i @RT23067192 08/28/2021 This movie is just flat out horrendous. The Characters did beyond stupid and implausible decisions. The first thing a woman does when she finds her dead husband is hide him and then put him in a Panda Costume in front of her kid's birthday, only for them to discover that he's dead and cause a panic…what in the world was that? It has lazy and cheap jump scares, and the dialogue is god awful, along with the writing. The doctor says you got to eat Danny. He says why. Doctor says because people are starving all over the world. The heck? How about because if you don't eat you'll die for gods sakes! Terrible movie, one of the worsts I've seen.
