Peter Gutierrez’s review published on Letterboxd:
X-CROSS is a kind of like a genre film festival all by itself, as if a brain-addled but talented fanboy commandeered the tour bus and ran it straight down the center of Popcornville, not stopping at any stop signs and ignoring all the clearly-marked boundaries. The movie is a sinuous, crackling combo of mystery, slasher film, quasi-Lovecraftian ode to those who worship the old gods, and even a martial arts smackdown, complete with a chainsaw and a huge pair of scissors(!). And did I mention that this astonishing grab bag of thrills is delivered with alternating POV characters (hence the title), so that the same events come to be staged from multiple perspectives? Sure, we've all seen that device before, but rarely executed this well: the plotting is loads of fun, the editing snaps like a whip, and director Kenta Fukasaku manages to keep a straight face for as long as he possibly can.
