The Bette Davis quote shown at the beginning of the film is misquoted
Plot
In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.. The Hollywood star Maxine puts her cigarette out on is Theda Bara's, the actress Pearl took inspiration from to name her alligator in Pearl (2022)..
I crushed her fucking head
It is actually "Until you're known in my profession as a monster, you're not a star.". Maxine Minx: Do you know what happened to the last person who tried to kill me? Fitting with the film's 80s aesthetic, after the credits, a "Be kind rewind" sticker is shown, like on many video store rentals..

Gimme All Your LovinWritten by Frank Beard (as Frank Lee Beard), Billy Gibbons & Dusty Hill (as Joe Michael Hill)Performed by ZZ TopCourtesy of Warner RecordsBy arrangement with Warner Music Group Film & TV Licensing. I was waiting for the third movie from this franchise but I was kind of disappointed!"X" and "Pearl" were really good and with lots of suspenseful scenes, gory scenes and darker tone!This one was a little bit more of a thriller drama with some good '80s soundtracks but it's lacks the feelings of suspenseful and scary mood . The killing scenes could have been more brutal and much bloodier.
There's blood but mid level
There's action but mid level. It's more like a slow burner of who dunn it and the twist at the very end was kinda predictable if you ask me.Mia Goth remains one of the greatest young actresses of her generation, she's gorgeous. I was pleased by Esposito and Bacon.It's a 6 out of 10 from me!
