While X was a solid slasher throwback, Pearl truly took everything to another level. Mia Goth’s performance was phenomenal in Pearl. Unhinged, disturbing, and delusional, Goth nailed every layer of that character. And they’re clearly sticking with the storyline for the obsession to achieve stardom by any means necessary.
AHS 1984 is the last time I remember seeing The Night Stalker/Richard Ramirez playing a role in a movie or TV show, but I’m banking on a swerve for MaXXXine. They never say his real name, and Ramirez doesn’t make an appearance in the trailer. Is it possible that Maxine is The Night Stalker? She is determined to be a star, so murdering the competition is a possibility.
I’m interested to see how things play out after the audition scene. The disastrous fallout with Pearl not being to handle rejection was one of the bigger highlights in Pearl, and a major turning point in the movie. I’m a sucker for 80’s vibes and 80’s nostalgia. The 80’s setting fits perfectly with the boom period for slasher films, and I’m curious to see how Bates Motel and any possible Psycho references are related to the story. The cast looks great, so hopefully MaXXXine delivers for Ti West’s unconventional trilogy.
