XX is a new horror anthology with a gender twist - all segments will be helmed by female directors and will star female leads. The directors have been given free creative rein within budget and time constraints, but all of the segments themselves will involve the horror genre. (Magnolia Pictures)

In XX, women who want to make horror movies get together. Basically, except for the second story, they managed to make a horror movie. The women just show that overall the horror is rather lacking and that there's a lack of ideas here. But that's not because the films were made by women, it's simply because that's the status quo. It's not rock bottom, definitely not, but it needs some more work to become a hit.

The marketing touted it as a “lady’s” horror anthology - whatever, the result is weak. That all the stories were directed by a woman and that their plots revolve around women is not a very strong concept. Actually, it isn’t a concept at all, it’s just a shallow political statement that means nothing, especially when it’s not worth much overall. The first story looks mysterious, but doesn’t go anywhere. The second story is utterly useless. The third story is a banal demon chase that ends almost before it begins – I was surprised when the fourth story began! That one’s directed by Karyn Kusama, and it’s the only with an interesting premise, which I would love to see developed as a feature film. In a mere twenty minutes it’s able to generate a little bit of interest, at most, but not the bond with the characters that would be needed for a stronger experience.
