The Big Picture Ti West has proven to be one of the most versatile horror filmmakers working today. Even before he launched his X trilogy, he showcased his astute minimalism in his 2013 found footage cult film, The Sacrament. He took his experiences making The House of the Devil and turned it into a haunting supernatural chiller in The Inkeepers.
Release Date July 5, 2024 Director Ti West Cast Mia Goth , Elizabeth Debicki , Moses Sumney , Michelle Monaghan , Bobby Cannavale , Lily Collins , Halsey , Giancarlo Esposito Runtime 103 Minutes Main Genre Horror Writers Ti West Franchise X Prequel X Production Company A24 Expand What Is 'MaXXXine' About? MaXXXine takes place in 1985 and an opening montage fills in the cultural shifts that have occurred in the six years since the events of X.
'MaXXXine' Expands on the 'X' and 'Pearl' Universe Close Right from the offset, West wants you to know that the universe he has built in X and Pearl has just gotten a lot bigger. Even details like Maxine’s massive pot of cocaine by her dressing table in comparison to her small bottle in X show you that the movie itself is the coked-out wildcard of the trilogy.
Just when you think it might feel derivative, underneath all these tributes is West’s distinct style. Those looking for tons of gore and blood should be satisfied but not overly so. In terms of scares and horror imagery, X still comes out on top. MaXXXine winds up being more a mystery noir than an out-and-out horror film, but there are still scenes that will satiate all your bloodthirst. Don’t expect a ton of kills, but West makes sure that the ones we do get count.
The Cast of 'MaXXXine' Is Electric Close Mia Goth does an incredible job of tracking Maxine’s character progression from X. She’s clearly traumatized and the "Texas Porn Star Massacre" has only hardened her, making her more determined and unapologetic in her pursuit of stardom. When the detective pleads for her help in the case in order to save the next girl, Maxine retorts “Maybe she should save herself — I had to.
