The sequel to “Pearl,” “X” actually came out before “Pearl.” It also stars Mia Goth as both Maxine, a young adult film star who rents farmhouse property for a shoot with her friends, and Pearl, a mysterious but seemingly harmless old woman.
When Maxine and her friends arrive at Pearl’s farm (where she still lives 60 years after the prequel ends), Pearl can’t help but notice how alike she and Maxine are. Her dashed hopes, dreams and reminders of her youth reignite her bloodlust for the group.
What’s next: Ti West is single-handedly bringing back the horror trilogy. The sequel to “X,” “MaXXXine,” which follows Maxine as she tries to make it in 1980s Hollywood, will be out sometime in 2024.
