Mia Goth on the movie poster for Ti West's Pearl
The Big Picture One of the most highly anticipated releases for horror fans this summer is MaXXXine. The capper to Ti West and Mia Goth’s X trilogy is going to be a slasher blood-soaked in 80s nostalgia. The reason for all the hype is that X and its prequel Pearl took the world by storm as its different filmmaking eras mixed together satisfyingly well with its twisted genre tropes. Now, ahead of Maxine’s return to the big screen, Turbine Media is back with four brand-new editions of Pearl on 4k.
Mia Goth is a Horror Star! Close X was a beloved film in its own right, playing in the world of grindhouse 70s slashers, but it still had niche appeal thanks to its very dark subject and heavy sexual content. Pearl was arguably a more disturbing story, yet its technicolor nightmare world that examined the golden age of Hollywood was more approachable given its American Psycho heightened style. The color palette alone in this prequel is enough to keep you up at night.
