Okay, so for my first FF Friday, I'm gonna try and make an entry about one of my favorite movies of all time: X-Cross (2007). In short, this movie is a wild thrill ride, dark and intelligent while also managing to be memorably funny. To me, it's the perfect translation of the survival horror game concept into the non-interactive medium of cinema. And it's got lesbians, so what else could you really ask for?

Watch if you like:
  • Fast-paced horror that is more tense than it is scary
  • The friends to (implied) lovers trope
  • Games like Clock Tower or Fatal Frame
  • 2000s horror aesthetics
  • Ridiculous fight sequences
Don't watch if you:
  • Prefer more serious horror
  • Don't enjoy movies that aren't explicit about queerness (it's obviously gay in my opinion, but they never kiss or anything like that)
  • Don't like movies that take cues from videogames
  • Prefer more realistic movies

Content warnings include, but as I don’t trust my fickle memory, may not be limited to:

POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW!

Amputation without the use of anaesthetics, violence against women, sexual harassment (there's like two incidents of nonconsensual licking, but relatively brief and don't escalate), the fetishization of a particular body part (in this case, legs), burning alive (non-fatal), liberal use of corrosive chemicals
