So what is the movie about? From well-known horror director Ti West and A24, the makers of Hereditary, Midsommar and The Witch, the synopsis reads: "At a secluded farmhouse in Texas, a film crew arrives to shoot an adult film. Their hosts, a reclusive elderly couple, take a special interest in their young guests. As night falls, the couple's leering interest turns violent."
