XX is a new all-female helmed horror anthology featuring four dark tales written and directed by fiercely talented women: Annie Clark (St. Vincent) rocks her directorial debut with THE BIRTHDAY PARTY; Karyn Kusama (THE INVITATION, GIRLFIGHT) exorcises HER ONLY LIVING SON; Roxanne Benjamin (SOUTHBOUND) screams DON’T FALL; and Jovanka Vuckovic (THE CAPTURED BIRD) dares to open THE BOX. Award-winning animator Sofia Carrillo (LA CASA TRISTE) wraps together four suspenseful stories of terror.
- One of the producers was quoted saying: "We believe strongly in fostering the best talents around the world at XYZ. We believe different perspectives are what keep storytelling fresh and exciting and hope that XX can help to encourage more female writers and directors to explore the genre world. And we know the ones we have for this first effort are going to absolutely kick ass."
- At one point Jennifer Lynch (Chained) and Mary Harron (American Psycho, The Moth Diaries) were attached to direct segments, but dropped out.
- "The Soska Sisters" Jen and Sylvia Soska (Dead Hooker in a Trunk, American Mary) were at one point attached to also direct a segment.
- The directors on board include Annie Clark (St. Vincent), Roxanne Benjamin (Southbound) and Karyn Kusama (Jennifer's Body) and Jovanka Vuckovic (The Captured Bird, The Guest).
- The film's title "XX" naturally refers to the female chromosome.
- The various segments will be linked by work by Guadalajara-based stop-motion animator Sofia Carrillo, who will also create the film's title sequence.
- This is an all-female horror anthology, with each segment featuring both a female director and female lead.
