X Movie Ending Explained By Star Brittany Snow
Warning! SPOILERS for Ti West's X.
The ending of Ti West's new horror film X is explained by the film's star Brittany Snow, who talks about the parallels between the protagonist and antagonist of the movie. West is known for his layered, contemplative horror films with haunting atmosphere and dark comedy, such as The House of the Devil and The Innkeepers. His latest film X took those strengths and combined them with well-rounded characters and confident pacing to make one of the most interesting slashers to come out in a long time.
X follows the cast and crew of an adult film as they try to shoot on an elderly couple's rural Texas property in 1979, only for the couple to start killing them off one by one. X has many interpretations of its imagery and symbolism, the most common being the obvious parallel between protagonist Maxine and antagonist Pearl since both are played by Mia Goth. In the end, Maxine kills Pearl and is left as the only survivor, driving off into the sunrise as many Final Girls have done throughout slasher history.
