X Trilogy 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman November 4, 2025

A24 is offering this new collector's edition box set of Ti West's trilogy, and a cursory examination of previous 1080 and 4K releases of the various films is kind of an object lesson in how kind of peculiar the boutique label / studio is and how its relationship with Lionsgate makes for some variant release strategies (those with long memories will know I actually put A24 as a studio in my top spot in my Top 10 list a few years ago, so when I say "peculiar" it's actually kind of a compliment). As the sticker on this set announces, this collector's edition offers the first 4K releases of X and Pearl in the U.S., which itself kind of begs the question as to previous 4K releases for other nations in other territories (a search of our database will reward sleuths in that regard). But here in good ol' 'Murica (a coinage which seems somehow particularly apt for this triptych), X received a 1080 release under Lionsgate branding in 2022, pretty quickly followed by Pearl that same year also under Lionsgate branding, and then MaXXXine and MaXXXine 4K (which included the 1080 presentation) in 2024 following suit by being offered by Lionsgate. There have been a number of A24 offerings that have had initial Lionsgate 1080 and/or 4K releases which were then followed by A24 exclusives (Everything Everywhere All At Once 4K and Everything Everywhere All At Once 4K spring instantly to mind, though there are others), but this is the first time to my memory where an A24 release is offering 4K debuts like this where there's already been a 4K release of one film in a series by Lionsgate.

The collector's edition includes some packaging extras, covered in the supplements section, below.

A24 is also offering a 1080 X Trilogy for those interested.

This review offers hi res photos of the set's handsome packaging.

Additionally, this collector's edition comes in handsome packaging shown here in hi res photos. A Mylar slipcover encloses both a tri-fold DigiPack and a 64 page booklet with an essay and tons of production stills and advertising material. The package measures approximately 6 1/8" wide by 9 3/4" high by 1 1/4" deep.

X Trilogy 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

In my many previously published reviews of this set, I've offered some doubts about the actual coherence of Ti West's trilogy, while also appreciating how distinctive and, well, weird it can be. Mia Goth fans in particular should be excited about the two new 4K presentations offered here, and the fact that all three films have been granted Dolby Atmos mixes and new filmmaker commentaries. Recommended.
