In the spring of 2022, an independent horror film directed by Ti West titled “X”. Its action takes place in the late 1970s and the protagonists are young filmmakers who rent a house in a remote area in Texas to shoot their first pornographic film there. Soon, their behavior becomes more and more interesting for the elderly hosts, who eventually become dangerously obsessed with them. The production won recognition from viewers, but it did not cause any revolution. Interestingly, Jenna Ortega appeared in it, and six months later she played the main role in the Netflix production entitled “Wednesday”.
The second part of the independent horror film won the hearts of critics. I especially liked Mia Goth
It was different in the case of the second part titled “Pearl”, which is a prequel to the film “X”. There we go back to 1918 and meet a family of German immigrants who went overseas and settled in Texas. The title character is a young woman who lives with her parents because her husband went to war. He takes care of his infirm father and has to endure the constant attentions of his tyrannical mother, who is also very pious. The girl escapes from everyday life into the world of cinema and dreams of becoming a star.
This, however, causes Pearl to take more and more radical steps, which remain in the minds of many viewers for a long time. And it is this detail that makes this film a good psychological thriller for some. The production also won many awards, including a Saturn for the best independent film. However, most critics’ eyes focused on co-writer and leading lady, Mia Goth. They wrote that “there hasn’t been such a villain for years.”
In the last part of the trilogy we will move to Los Angeles. Famous stars joined the cast
The third part will debut in cinemas soon. “MaXXXine”, in which we will see the awarded actress again. In this part, the action takes place in the 1980s, and the title character Maxine, who is the only survivor of the massacre known from the first part, decides to go to Los Angeles, where she tries her hand at the adult film industry. In the city of angels, he will meet real Hollywood stars, because the film stars Kevin Bacon, Lily Collins, Elizabeth Debicki and Michelle Monaghan, who rarely agree to participate in an independent production.
The international premiere of “MaXXXine” is scheduled for July 5. The trailer of the production has been available for some time now, and within a dozen or so hours it has gained almost 1.4 million views. In the last part of the trilogy, the villain will be the Night Stalker who prowls Los Angeles. A serial killer is targeting Hollywood stars, and his next victim is Maxine. The girl is afraid not only of the killer, but also of the disclosure of her sinister past. She is followed by a private detective who is hired to find the girl.
