We are hardly spoiled with good horror, especially those who are not remakes or sequels. Ti West delivers a hard-boiled slasher that manages to combine blood and sex with thought-provoking, human themes.

"X" is like a really good wine. When you first taste it, it is good and slips easily down your throat. But it is when you are hungry and the fantastic aftertaste comes that you really enjoy. Because even if "X" on the surface is a 1970s-inspired slasher (which also takes place in the mentioned decade) about some crazy lantis who terrorize a porn film production, it has more layers than you can count. When the subtitles roll and you really start to digest the film, you realize that it actually has something to say.
 
One can only applaud the director / screenwriter / producer Ti West, who has previously given us low-budget gems like "The House of the Devil", "The Innkeepers" and "The Sacrament". Clearly a fan of the genre as he previously manages to combine effective retro horror with black humor and human themes. But that, as here, succeeding in including old age, sexuality, prejudice and identity-seeking in a horror film that on paper sounds like a B-film is very impressive.

 It is a film that builds up slowly and subtly but becomes all the more frightening once things start to happen. There are more nasty situations - and a lot of blood - rather than cheap jump-to-effects. We also care about the characters who, despite their flaws and shortcomings, are unusually sympathetic and human to this type of film.
 
Much is due to West's script, which refuses the kind of hip, politically correct dialogue we often hear in modern slasher films. This is not least noticeable in an almost brilliant scene where our main characters discuss their roles in the porn film they record but also in society. How their morals - and in some cases double standards - are reflected in their view of s@x.
 
Someone who impresses all the more is the main character Mia Goth ("Suspiria", "Emma"), superb in a cool double role. Not only is her ambitious porn actress Maxine Minx an unusual heroine who does drugs, fucks and aims hard at the stars. British Goth has also adopted a credible American Southern dialect for the role. But she also plays the older, creepy lady Pearl, where in addition to fantastic makeup, she also gets an older woman's movements and behavior so that it is almost impossible to see that the wrinkled, thin-haired and slender Pearl is actually played by a 28-year-old. It is almost more impressive than Tilda Swinton's contribution as an older man in "Suspiria" (in which Goth also starred).

Goth is also backed by a flawless ensemble. It's extra fun to see "Pitch Perfect" star Brittany Snow steal every scene she's in as a promiscuous porn star with a twinkle in her eye. Martin Henderson ("The Ring") does a wonderful Matthew McConaughey imitation better than McConuaghey could have done himself. And between this one, "Scream" and "Studio 666", Jenna Ortega proves that we have a new horror movie star to count on.
 
"X" with its rural and 1970s environment is similar to many classic horror films - but at the same time manages to have something to say between the once-motivated sex scenes and all the happy splatter violence. It's a smart, fun, bloody and nicely packaged gift for fans of the genre who usually have to go through tired remakes and sequels. West and Goth have already filmed a prequel, "Pearl", and expectations are high!

Richard O'Brien's "Rocky Horror Show" is on a major tour of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. For the first time, Hardy Krüger jr. (53) took on the role of "narrator". After his premiere at the Deutsches Theater in Munich, the actor can be seen in numerous shows in four other guest cities: from Stuttgart and Cologne to Düsseldorf and Frankfurt.

You are one of the prominent narrators in the musical "The Rocky Horror Show". What do you personally associate with this musical?
Hardy Krüger jr.: I associate my youth in Munich with the piece "Rocky Horror Show". It was an important and very nice time for me. The movie "Rocky Horror Picture Show" was like Tarantino for movie buffs today. A revolution and a statement. What's more, I played the role of Frank'n'Furter myself as an 18-year-old drama enthusiast. It's great that this piece is as cult today as it was in the past. This shows that we humans need culture. She is important to us.

What is special about the "Rocky Horror Show"?
Hardy Krüger jr.: The special thing about the show is that it is much more up-to-date and contemporary than ever before. That's really incredible. The creator himself would certainly never have expected that when he wrote the piece. In the transgender generation, this piece - as old as it may be - is a statement. Be free and be who you want to be.

Would you like to take on a role in a musical yourself?
Hardy Krüger jr.: I've already had the opportunity to play a role in a musical and am now looking forward to seeing the great young singers and dancers on stage. The role of the narrator now suits me better in terms of age. A Frank'n'Furter in his mid-fifties is a completely different statement, isn't it?

For a long time, Corona made it impossible to attend cultural events. How much do you enjoy these performances now?
Hardy Krüger jr.: Corona has cost us actors and artists a lot of strength. Not only were we worried, we weren't supported financially either. It's not easy when all you have to do is act for a living. Many of my colleagues now have completely different jobs or have left the country to find happiness elsewhere. I am very happy that there are events like this again. But despite everything, we have to take care of ourselves. Corona is still out there. Many people are still dying from the virus today.

Would you like to take on a series role à la "Forsthaus Falkenau" again?
Hardy Krüger jr.: I could definitely imagine getting back into a series on TV. I have never turned away from the TV. It just didn't have the right movies or roles that I wanted to play. I also wrote my book "Wendepunkte" and was on a reading tour. During the first lockdown, we also shot the movie "Leberhaken", which was shown at film festivals during the pandemic. Then later in the cinema and now it's on the "Süddeutsche Zeitung Mediathek" and on Pantaflix for streaming.

What would you miss without the limelight?
Hardy Krüger Jr.: I couldn't imagine life without the limelight? Oh but! I am first and foremost an artist who finds many ways to find fulfillment in the things I do - painting, writing, playing, cooking, gastronomy, interior design, building projects. The limelight comes automatically when you are successful in what you do.

What projects can your fans look forward to this year?
Hardy Krüger jr.: My projects are very interesting this year. But at this point I can't say anything concrete because I haven't decided yet. Otherwise it will bring bad luck.

Unfortunately, her "Let's Dance" adventure ended quickly. Would you like to try again in the next season?
Hardy Krüger Jr.: "Let's Dance" was a great journey. I would have loved to have continued. Maybe there will be another opportunity in the future. I would be very happy! No question.
