After MaXXXine, It's Time To Revisit This 30-Year-Old Cult Classic That Deserves More Love

Laura Kelly is a writer from Brighton, UK. Her biggest obsessions are Twin Peaks, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Sopranos.

Summary Ti West's trilogy-capping horror movie MaXXXine, yet while the movie follows the same original path as prequels Pearl and X, the movie is also a welcome reminder to revisit another acclaimed production – albeit from a different genre. Film buffs with a soft spot for underdogs and classic horror movies will find much to admire in MaXXXine.

Ed Wood & MaXXXine Both Succeed By Celebrating The Underdog Close It’s a message about defiance and proving those naysayers wrong. Tim Burton, in his underrated cult classic Ed Wood, also makes a hero of the outsider and underdog. A biopic of the real horror director, he’s one of many outsiders in Burton’s oeuvre, like Edward Scissorhands. Much like Scissorhands, Johnny Depp’s portrayal of Wood is one of endearing, childlike wonder. In the opening, he’s seen to be uplifting his discouraged cast following disappointing press.

If MaXXXine is a love letter to classic horror, Ed Wood is a serenade. One of the main characters is Bela Lugosi , who personifies greatness in the horror genre. Like Ed, who he affectionately calls Eddie, he desires simply to be seen and acknowledged, which can be compared to Maxine’s simple ambition to be a “star” and for everyone to know her name.
