X, the first movie, turns back the clock to 1979. It tells the story of young filmmakers filming a secret adult film in a rural Texas town. When their elderly hosts stumble upon their secret, things swiftly take a gruesome turn.
The second film, Pearl, is a color-soaked origin story. It explores the grim life of a young girl trapped on a solitary family farm.
