“The films ofTi Westhave a kind of energy that is so rare these days, fueled by a pure, undiluted love of cinema,” asserted the legendary director. “You feel it in every frame. a prequel toX – The Mark of Deathshot in a diametrically opposed cinematic register (think of the colorful melodramas ofscopeof the 1950s),pearlcreates a wild, mesmerizing, deeply – and I mean deeply – disturbing 102 minutes.”

West and his muse and creative partner,Mia Goth, really know how to joke with their audience… before they stick the knife in our chests and start cheering. I was delighted, then disturbed, then so restless that I found it difficult to sleep. But I couldn’t stop watching.
