10 Horror Anthology Movies You've Probably Never Seen

10. XX

Powered by women, XX is a little known horror anthology that came out in 2017 consisting of 4 stories and 1 wrap around. Originally conceived in 2014, XX was supposed to feature segments directed by Mary Harron (American Psycho) and Jennifer Lynch (Chained) alongside Karyn Kusama (The Invitation) and Jovanka Vuckovic.

Sadly, Harron and Lynch dropped out, and were replaced by Roxanne Benjamin (Body at Brighton Rock) and Annie Clark. Despite the heavy hitting horror talent on display behind the camera, XX fails to live up to the standards one might expect from filmmakers well versed in the genre.

Roxanne Benjamin was a producer on the first two V/H/S anthologies, and also directed a segment of another movie on this list. Unsurprisingly, her segment in XX called Don't Fall is one of the movies highlights. Kusama also delivers with her segment Her Only Living Son, but overall XX failed to set the box office alight, and received some mediocre reviews.

All in all though, XX is a decent enough horror anthology and allows to showcase some up and coming female talent from the horror community.
