Like father, like son? Brandon Cronenberg‘s work as a director already had a similar tone to his Dad, David Cronenberg. But now that he’s following in his father’s footsteps in another way: his upcoming film “Infinity Pool” has received an NC-17 rating, just like his father’s 1996 film “Crash.” READ MORE: ‘Infinity Pool’: Alexander Skarsgård & Director Brandon Cronenberg Team For NEON’s New Sci-Fi Thriller Bloody-Disgusting reports that the movie received an NC-17 rating from the MPA this week for “some graphic violence and sexual content,” but producer NEON intends to appeal to the C.A.R.A Appeals Board for a less extreme rating.

The 1980s was a great decade for horror, with classics like “The Shining,” “The Fly,” and two “Evil Dead” movies. Effects were largely practical (not computer-generated) and genre giants Wes Craven, John Carpenter, Sam Raimi and David Cronenberg were making some of their most iconic movies ever.
X” and “The Black Phone” with Ethan Hawke — which are both set in the ’70s — are now on streaming, as is David Cronenberg’s “Crimes of the Future” and Rob Zombie’s take on classic ’60s sitcom “The Munsters.”And you may have missed these foreign films: “The Innocents,” a Norwegian movie about children who misuse their supernatural powers; Austria’s “Luzifer,” which earned lead Franz Rogowski a Best Actor award at Fantastic Fest; Dutch folk horror film “Moloch;” “The Sadness,” an extreme body horror/zombie movie from Taiwan; “Saloum” from Senegal, which The Guardian called “slick gangster horror in wild west Africa;” and “Speak No Evil,” in which a get-together with a couple from Denmark and one from the Netherlands goes horribly wrong. Get in the Halloween spirit with movies about witches, ghosts, zombies, vampires, demons and the scariest monsters of all: Other people.
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Every horror movie is about pain, but only the “Hellraiser” series is about sadomasochism — the electricity and agony of it, the higher calling of it. “Hellraiser,” a reboot of the franchise that began in 1987 and has given us nine sequels (time flies when you’re having fun imagining yourself being tortured for fun), is a movie that honors the subversive tug of Clive Barker’s 1986 novella “The Hellbound Heart.” But it takes a long time for the new “Hellraiser” to get to what devotees of the series would call the good stuff. When it does, however, the movie doesn’t hold back. Flesh is torn and frayed, flesh is peeled and sliced, flesh gets split wide open with mystical mechanical devices. The film’s brutal final act may put you in mind of such queasy landmarks of cinematic mutilation as “Audition,” “The Cell,” the “Saw” series, the 2018 remake of “Suspiria,” and David Cronenberg’s recent return to body horror “Crimes of the Future.”
Zack Sharf Halloween is upon us, which means it’s perfect timing for Ti West’s “X” and David Cronenberg’s “Crimes of the Future,” two of the best new horror movies of the year, to hit streaming platforms. But that’s not all this scary season.

William Earl Spoiler alert: The entire plot of “Pearl” and “X” will be discussed in this article. Who knew a church dance tryout would result in one of the year’s strongest film monologues? That’s the case with “Pearl,” Ti West’s twisty, hallucinatory ode to Technicolor-era film. It’s the prequel to this year’s grimy porn slasher “X,” in which Mia Goth played an aspiring XXX actress as well as a makeup-laden, nearly-unrecognizable elderly woman named Pearl who ended up killing most of the film crew staying on her farm. In the latest film, Goth takes on a third role of Pearl as a young woman.
is gushing.Can you talk about the timetable of shooting “X” alongside “Pearl?”Well, “X” was written and was sort of green-lit and we were going off to New Zealand to make it, and it was during the peak of the pandemic and New Zealand was a safe place to make a movie. And we had spent a lot of time and effort to set up an environment down there with a crew and to get visas and to get everyone in through quarantine and to build an infrastructure a) to make a movie and b) this specific movie that was “X,” meaning building a barn and turning New Zealand into America.
The new movie Pearl, starring Mia Goth, is now in theaters and it’s the second film of the X franchise to be released this year.
Mia Goth is celebrating some exciting news about her new movie Pearl!
A subversive throwback to ’70s sleaze, “X” has more on its mind than shock value. That’s not to say that down-and-dirty pleasures were hard to come by in Ti West’s A24-produced slasher (which hit theaters earlier this year), about amateur adult filmmakers facing off with murderous octogenarians on a decrepit farm in rural 1979 Texas.
