************************************************************************
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!
************************************************************************
Following the breakout success of filmmaker West's highly acclaimed X in 2022, he (and muse Mia Goth) surprised everyone with the surprise release of prequel PEARL that same year, continuing the twisted story with a pathological origin story for one of horror cinema's most unexpectedly earnest villains.
Trapped on her family's isolated farm, Pearl (Mia Goth) must tend to her ailing father under the bitter and overbearing watch of her devout mother. Lusting for a glamorous life like she's seen in the movies, Pearl finds her ambitions, temptations, and repressions all colliding in this stunning, technicolor-inspired origin story of X's iconic villain.
"'Pearl' finds Ti West squeezing fresh gore out of the world he created with X -- and once again benefiting from a brilliant Mia Goth performance." (Rotten Tomatoes)
"If Douglas Sirk made a slasher flick, it would be Pearl." (Filmweek LA)
