‘Maxxxine is very different from both of them’: Ti West on closing out his X horror trilogy

It might not be the end after all.

Since 2020, the writer and director has been fully immersed in the genre-spanning franchise that started with the ’70s slasher flick X and continued with the technicolor prequel Pearl, which were filmed back-to-back in New Zealand during the pandemic and released in 2022. Stylistically, the films are different — one awash in bright Wizard of Oz colors, the other grimy like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre — but they share a tight connection through the story, location, and cast. The story follows Maxine as she attempts to make it as an actress only to get caught up with a killer stalking Los Angeles, and Goth is joined by a cast that includes Elizabeth Debicki, Halsey, Giancarlo Esposito, and Kevin Bacon.
