A troupe of would-be pornographers make a poor location choice in Ti West's '70s-set slasher film starring Jenna Ortega, Mia Goth and Scott 'Kid Cudi' Mescudi.
Think twice before flaunting your sexuality, kids: What seems to you like a healthy, happy expression of universal urges will be a painful reminder to others of their long-vanished youth. And some of those people may be made so sad they’ll carve you up into little pieces. That’s the moral of: Set in rural Texas at the dawn of the VHS era, it watches as some youngsters set out to conquer the world of low-budget porn and instead find themselves fighting for their lives.
Benefitting from West’s knack for capturing period vibes and from an unusually engaging cast, the pic is meatier than the average slasher film — though Kid Cudi fans who come just because he’s in the ensemble should be aware that they’re in for a very gory ride.
