Our Programmer Thomas about The X-Trilogy:
"The great thing about the X-trilogy is that Ti West has managed to breathe completely new life into the horror genre. He does it in such a tasteful way that you immediately realize as a viewer that West knows what he's talking about. He has the right inspiration, understands the genre, and translates his affinity with old campy horror films into something entirely new. The result: an absolute thrill to watch, and that for three films in a row."
