World Premiere at the 2022 Venice Film Festival. Filmmaker Ti West returns with another chapter from the twisted world of X (2022), in this astonishing follow-up to one of the year’s most acclaimed horror films.
Trapped on her family’s isolated farm, Pearl must tend to her ailing father under the bitter and overbearing watch of her devout mother.
