Yes, we're as excited as you are for the third installment of Ti West's bloody amazing franchise, MAXXINE, hitting movie screens on Friday, July 5! So yes, of course, we're going to revisit both X (2022), and its prequel PEARL (2022), with a double bill screening on Friday, June 28!

In 2022, filmmaker Ti West surprised everyone from serious cinephiles (including Martin Scorsese) and hardcore horror lovers with his fresh and inventive take on the slasher genre with the breakout hit X. Then six months later, West (and muse Mia Goth, in a career-defining performance) then surprised everyone, everywhere, all at once by gifting us with the release of PEARL, the surprise prequel to X.

Set in 1979, X follows a group of young filmmakers who set out to make an adult film in rural Texas. Things get complicated and dangerous when their reclusive, elderly hosts catch them in the act, which leaves the cast fighting for their lives. With Mia Goth, Jenna Ortega, Martin Henderson, Brittany Snow, Owen Campbell, Stephen Ure, and Scott Mescudi.

"A fresh spin on the classic slasher formula, X marks the spot where Ti West gets resoundingly back to his horror roots." (Rotten Tomatoes)

"This is an homage but also a strikingly original and cheerfully grotesque work, filled with dark humor, relatively complex subtext and gung-ho, all-in performances from the talented ensemble cast." (Chicago Sun-Times)
