Review: Jovanka Vuckovic, Annie Clark, Roxanne Benjamin, and Karyn Kusama. XX

In lieu of an abstract, here is the first paragraph of the review: Given the low number of women contributors to horror, a genre anthology of “four deadly tales from four female filmmakers” (Magnet Releasing) is a disappointingly unique concept. This is what XX (2017) promises, with four dramatically different horror shorts. However as an anthology, the film lacks consistency in style and tone, as the only commonality is the gender of the filmmakers.
