I’ve said this many times that 2022 was an amazing year for horror films. Films like Smile, Fall, Barbarian and Prey were standouts. However, the two films that enthralled me the most were X and Pearl. Both were from the creatively twisted mind of Ti West and starring the infinitely talented Mia Goth. Honestly, Goth is one of the most versatile actors working in Hollywood. As we all know both the films are part of West’s X horror trilogy. The last instalment of the franchise – MaXXXine, is coming out this year but we’ve had no marketing material of the film as of now. But according to a new report, the trailer will be dropping soon. Keep reading to know more.
The First Trailer For MaXXXine Will Drop Soon!
Well, after a long wait it is official, the first trailer for MaXXXine will come out this Monday i.e., April 8th, 2024. This news isn’t coming from some media outlet rather from A24 themselves. Recently, a fan asked the studio when will the first trailer for MaXXXine drop by and the studio replied with, “Monday. #MaXXXine” along with a GIF of Mia Goth’s MaXXXine walking through the fog in the dark.
The Ti West directorial is described to be a whodunnit slasher, however, if these new reactions are to be believed then the film will a homage to Dario Argento and the sub-genre of Giallo, likening it to Lucio Fulci’s The New York Ripper. The film will be set five years after the horrifying events of X and will focus on Maxine in LA. Maxine is working in Hollywood or more specifically in slasher films in the 1980s.
In the film, the actor is terrorized by a serial killer called Night Stalker. Unfortunately for Maxine, the killer is fixated on her and starts to take out the people in her life. The film, which wrapped production in May, is noted for its excessive gore and begins with the music of ZZ Top’s “Give Me All Your Lovin’.”
Additional details also mention scenes set in the Bates Motel from Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho and a surprise appearance from a mystery actor. The identity of the actor is kept under wraps but is said to be a major surprise. The first reactions also describes Mia Goth’s role in “MaXXXine” as more subdued but still exceptional.
