Short Film Spotlight: XX

Welcome back to another installment of SHORT FILM SPOTLIGHT, where we highlight some of the best short films out there.  This week, we take a look at this year's amazing short film horror anthology...XX.

Four female creative figures in the horror genre joined forces this year to create a fascinating anthology of horror short films. Premiering at Sundance in January, XX is so named due to each of its four short films clocking in at or around twenty minutes in length. Each of the four short films are very different, encapsulating different niches of the horror genre. Critical reactions to XX have been mixed. However, I found it to be some truly engaging, creative horror that I absolutely loved.
