Kevin says MaXXXine ROCKS!

Ti West wraps up his dark side of fame trilogy with MAXXINE.

The story follows Mia Goth as the main character from X. It’s 1985, and Maxine is trying to jump from adult films into mainstream Hollywood. She lands a role in a high-profile horror film but her past – and the notorious serial killer The Night Stalker – keeps getting in her way.

Like X and PEARL, West uses his encyclopedic understanding of film style to offer a different story while playing with the same darker themes. Where X was a throwback to TEXAS CHAINSAW and PEARL a love letter to early cinema, MAXXXINE stirs together 80s urban vice dramas with a healthy dose of Satanic panic.

The cast includes a bright array of talent used in sparse doses. They all serve Maxine, and we see in her a more wily and deliberate lead. And it has just enough twists and turns to avoid falling into the cliches it pays homage to.

A solid slasher playing into fun nostalgia, MAXXXINE gets four VHS tapes out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
