X marks the spot for classy adult horror

and in extremely capable hands. The camera surveys the scene with deliberation: first the silent sirens of police cars, gradually bringing us closer, with each movement exposing another level of gore and revealing the scale of the unspecified terror. First a blood-soaked corpse covered in a sheet, a spattered wall, more bodies slumped against the wall, the sheriff and his deputies making their way into the house, descending into an ominous basement, and witnessing a horrifying scene that we’ll have to wait about a hundred more minutes to see for ourselves.
