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.

Obviously this is a film that everyone was rooting for... but it just didn't thrill me overall.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Apr 26, 2021

A delightful and horrific variety pack.

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.

Its fully feminine component is just a gimmick, but as a starting point, it is as good as any other. [Full review in Spanish]

There's a virtue in not revealing too much to the audience, but XX errs in too often using the unknown as a crutch.

| Original Score: 2.75/5 | Jul 20, 2019

Tthe female-directed horror short collection embodies the problems native to the anthology format - shallow character development, thinly sketched narrative arcs, with short-term investment wielding sparse long-term scares.

| Original Score: C+ | Nov 5, 2018

The aptly named XX is a celebration of women creating bewitching works of horror. These shorts result in a highly entertaining anthology focusing on different areas of horror.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 2, 2018

At present, XX just seems like a tease of the greatness to come. But it's a delightfully twisted tease.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 1, 2018

Often striking for its seamless brutality, the film eventually devolves into an artsy episode of The Following.

| Aug 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.

At the end of the day XX remains a curiosity for any lover of horror. [Full review in Spanish]

Just like men have been given the chance to tell a wide range of stories, women shouldn't be confined to one kind of narrative - and in XX, they aren't. That's what makes it so skin-crawlingly fun.

It's pretty by the numbers.

If you're looking for a way to put a spark into a cold night, XX will hit the spot.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 17, 2017

It's a pleasure to meet with this kind of works, where a group of women use their talent in a genre that continues to be erroneously associated with leading men, which shows us that diversity is necessary. [Full review in Spanish]

Absolutely anyone who prefers the unsettling creep of dread to predictable jump scares will enjoy this one.

All these films are glued together by creepy stop-motion animation interstitial sequences by Mexican stop-motion animator Sofia Carrillo, which might be the element most likely to induce nightmares.

| Original Score: 85/100 | Mar 10, 2017

Some of the writing was uneven, but the direction of all four pieces in XX was competent, and the acting impressive was throughout. I really enjoyed the interstitial animated pieces by Sofia Carrilo.

The four narratives ... achieve varying levels of black comedy and terror with an emphasis on women's issues.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 2, 2017
