MaXXXine is about an up-and-coming horror actress who has to deal with her past trauma. It's also the third part of Ti West's trilogy.
Ti West is taking a break from having two hits with X and Pearl. Now that he's wrapped up his trilogy, I imagine he is taking a break. He was one of my favorite new horror directors next to James Wan, but MaXXXine is more of a thriller with gore.
Mia Goth has been on a horror rampage alongside her former co-star Jenna Ortega who is doing a better job getting work. I heard she was going to be Lilith in the upcoming Blade movie, but that was supposed to be a train wreck. I'm also excited for her in Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, which is coming out next year.
There were some surprise actors in the film, notably, Giancarlo Esposito, Elizabeth Debicki, Halsey, and Kevin Bacon. This makes this film the second Bacon film I've seen this week. The other is the new Beverly Hills Cop. Look for my review later this weekend. Debicki might not be a household name, but she has a melting pot of a family history that gives her a really unique look. She plays Ayesha in Guardians of the Galaxy.
The film didn't live up to the first two in the series, but it still was engaging. Result: B+
