MaXXXine
Filmmaker Ti West's 2022 slasher hit X and its surprise origin story prequel PEARL, released that same year, amassed a major following among dedicated horror movie fans (including some guy named Martin Scorsese, who has been particular effusive in his support). The franchise concludes with the highly anticipated release of MAXXXINE, which is a direct sequel following the events of X.
Set in 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx (Mia Goth) finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past. With Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Kevin Bacon, Giancarlo Esposito.
"I like this series so much as a commentary on the artificiality of Hollywood... Terrific fun." (Filmweek NPR)
"[Mia] Goth is once again allowed to flex her acting prowess, and her turn as Maxine is fuller, more realized and grotesquely fierce in this third film. She is the heart of the character, and for many fans, returning to her side will be enough." (Seattle Refined)
"With a rollicking soundtrack full of ’80s faves like Frankie Goes to Hollywood and ZZ Top, bold, fluorescent sets and Hollywood locations and outsized performances, Maxxxine wraps up West’s trilogy in killer style." (Time Out)
"Building on its predecessors, “MaXXXine” is telling us that the real monster is not a knife-wielding nutjob, but ambition itself." (New York Times)
