‘X’ Comes Home and Five Other Horror Movies Releasing This Week!

The big horror release for the week is A24 and director Ti West’s X, released in theaters last month and now headed home to Digital outlets for Premium VOD rental this week.

Along with X, we’re getting FIVE other new horror movies this week!

Here’s all the new horror headed our way April 12-17, 2022.

After making over $11 million in theaters, Ti West and A24‘s slasher movie X is headed home, first to the virtual A24 screening room and later in the week to traditional PVOD.

You’ll be able to watch X in the A24 Screening Room on Tuesday, April 12th at 9pm EST, with Ti West’s new movie then available on Premium VOD on Thursday, April 14th.

The Blu-ray and DVD will later release on May 24, 2022.

From critically acclaimed director Ti West (The Innkeepers, The Sacrament), the horror film stars Mia Goth (A Cure for Wellness, Suspiria, Emma), Brittany Snow (Prom Night, Pitch Perfect, Pitch Perfect 2), Jenna Ortega (“You,” 2022’s Scream, The Babysitter: Killer Queen) as well as Grammy Award® nominee Scott Mescudi (better known as Kid Cudi, Don’t Look Up).”

In the new movie, “A group of actors set out to make an adult film in rural Texas under the noses of their reclusive hosts — an elderly couple with a farm and boarding house for rent. But when the couple catches their young guests in the act, the cast finds themselves in a desperate fight for their lives in this tantalizing slasher from writer-director Ti West.”

Meagan wrote in her review, “X is a crowd-pleasing doozy when it comes to brutal bloodletting and kills. Some deaths leave you queasy, and some will leave you cackling with glee. All of it is immensely satisfying.” She continued, “A deceptively simple setup gives way to a go-for-broke horror-comedy that leaves you breathless from laughter and nail-biting tension.”

Elisa Cuthbert (House of Wax) returns to the horror genre in brand new horror movie The Cellar, which is coming to select theaters as well as Shudder on Friday, April 15th.

In the film, written and directed by Brendan Muldowney…

“Keira Woods’ (Elisha Cuthbert) daughter mysteriously vanishes in the cellar of their new house. She soon discovers there is an ancient and powerful entity controlling their home that she will have to face or risk losing her family’s souls forever.”

Eoin Macken, Abby Fitz and Dylan Fitzmaurice-Brady also star.

Trace wrote in his SXSW review, “It’s wonderful to see Elisha Cuthbert back in the genre and Muldowney manages to eke out a few genuine chills in the third act, but it’s not enough to merit a strong recommendation. It’s a competently made film, but in an age where people have endless viewing options from streaming services, competent just doesn’t cut it anymore.”
