Ti West is an American director born in Wilmington, Delaware, celebrated for slow-building horror steeped in genre history and atmosphere. The House of the Devil, a meticulous homage to 1980s satanic-panic horror films, established his patient, retro-styled visual approach favoring dread over jump scares. His X trilogy, comprising X, Pearl, and MaXXXine, reimagined 1970s pornographic filmmaking and slasher conventions through a a stylish, genre-literate lens, with Pearl in particular earning acclaim for its lurid, Wizard of Oz-inflected color palette and a widely praised performance from Mia Goth. West's deep genre literacy and patient, atmosphere-first approach to horror pastiche have made him one of the more distinctive stylists in contemporary American genre filmmaking.
