in my not so humble opinion the X assist excels
at the most every
single aspect of what makes a horror movie good whether it's a well - developed sense of dread, incredible shock moments that make you jump
at your seat, well presented themes that make you think about the movie long after it's over, well developed
characters that you care about, special effects and make up that contribute not detract from the movie, etc. one of the good examples of the latter
point is how William Friedkin who
in my opinion is one of the 10 greatest directors of all
time used a refrigerated room for some of the scenes.
