Fans left 'terrified' by new Jenna Ortega horror movie with near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score

If you're partial to a slasher film and enjoy watching Jenna Ortega on screen, why not kill two birds with one stone and stick on the horror film she starred in that boasts a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score?

The actress is only 21-years-old but has already displayed some serious acting range so far - she cracked the industry as a kid and has now ditched her squeaky clean image for something a bit more...scary.

The Wednesday star is now an established scream queen thanks to all of the chilling roles she has taken on over the last few years, but the 2022 horror she starred in really managed to spook viewers.

Take a look at the trailer here:

Ortega really pushed the envelope with her acting in the horror movie, titled X, while starring alongside the likes of Brittany Snow, Mia Goth, Kid Cudi and Martin Henderson.

The plot isn't just gruesome either - it's quite graphic, to put it mildly.

The flick, which was written, directed, produced and edited by Ti West, follows the journey of a group of young filmmakers who set out to make an X-rated adult film at a property in rural Texas under the noses of their elderly hosts.

But this is a slasher film, so of course, they don't just make a porno, pack their bags and head home.

The group's saucy scenes end up getting interrupted and they find themselves having to fight for their lives while trying to work out why everyone is suddenly turning up dead.

Fans went wild for X when it was first released and it has recently had a resurgence of love online following Ortega's controversial role in Miller's Girl.

Her character in the horror film, Lorraine, is one of the more demure people in the group who initially works behind the scenes of the porn production, rather than getting her kit off.

But she grows increasingly intrigued by the concept of making an adult film and later ends up deciding to join in - seeing her get it on with her co-star Kid Cudi who plays Jackson Hole.

He was 37 at the time, which is an age gap which has raised eyebrows among some people - similarly to the controversy surrounding her intimate scenes with Martin Freeman in Miller's Girl.

But Ortega said she had a blast filming X, explaining that she 'loved' how her character 'flipped the script mid-film'.

She explained that she 'had a lot of faith' in everyone involved in the project, as well as in the script itself.

The Scream actress added: "I had never read anything like it before, and that was super-enticing to me."

Those brave enough to stick X on the telly have heaped praise on the horror film as well as the entire production of it.

One said: "Good direction, good acting performances, great locations. I enjoyed it, I love it."

While another wrote: "This is the best feature film I have ever seen."

A third added: "Love this movie, great use of old fashioned slasher tension with an entertaining story."

And a fourth commented: "Very terrifying and great performances."
