MaXXXine - 2024 - 6/10
One can see why the Horror manboys were less than thrilled with this.
Third Ti West installment is not Horror, barely qualifies as a Slasher.
This is a thriller, hewing close to Giallo, with style to burn.
Maxine Minx is trying to shift her career from porn to legit, or into Horror.
Mid 1980’s, she is menaced by a creepy private eye, her friends have been murdered.
Meanwhile, or in conjunction with, the “Night Stalker” prowls Los Angeles.
Mia Goth is fine (I thought her better in Pearl in this sequel to X.
The “look” captures the bi-polar 1980’s, leaving the hedonistic 70’s, entering a morality return.
Possess a long memory? Ti West must, as I swear one character seems patterned after Brother Lester Roloff.
