I crushed her damn head
Plot
In 1980s Hollywood, porn 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 dark past. The Hollywood star Maxine stubs her cigarette on is that of Theda Bara, the actress Pearl was inspired by to name her alligator in Pearl (2022). The Bette Davis quote shown at the beginning of the film is misquoted. It actually reads “Until you’re known as a monster in my profession, you’re not a star.” Maxine Minx: Do you know what happened to the last person who tried to kill me?
Edited from X (2022)
In keeping with the film’s ’80s aesthetic, a “Be kind rewind” sticker is shown after the credits, like those found on many rental video stores.

With 2022’s “X” and “Pearl,” Ti West has crafted two hugely entertaining, wickedly clever horror-comedies that honor two specific types of films. “X” is an homage to and pastiche of 1970s grindhouse tropes, most obviously “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” while “Pearl” is like a warped 1950s Technicolor melodrama, like the cinematic child of Walt Disney and Dario Argento. Both films are prime examples of satire, successfully implementing elements of the object they’re satirizing without becoming that object themselves.
Meanwhile, the Nightstalker roams the streets and Maxine’s friends are dropping like flies
With MaXXXine, the latest entry in the X series, West aims to poke fun at giallo and exploitation films of the late ’70s, as well as the Videonasties of the 1980s and Hollywood slashers in general. Set in 1985, six years after the events of the original, the film follows Maxine Minx as she tries to make it in the movies. After getting her big break, she is blackmailed by someone who threatens to reveal her participation in the 1979 massacre. Will Maxine finally become a star or will she be left to live a life she doesn’t deserve? MaXXXine is entertaining if narratively uneven, but visually it dazzles, recreating the neon-soaked decadence of mid-1980s Los Angeles.
Here, it feels as if West has incorporated cliches just for fun, making you question their purpose
Beneath its glossy surface, however, lies a narrative that lacks the bite, wit and unpredictability of its predecessors. While the film is entertaining, it sometimes threatens to become what it satirizes – a cheesy Hollywood slasher. West uses many familiar elements from ’80s films – arguing cops, an over-the-top villain, a shady private eye, gunfights – but these come across as cliches rather than effective satire, lacking any fresh spin or commentary. In “X” and “Pearl,” every detail was carefully calculated and deliberately incorporated to heighten the emotion of a particular scene. Effective satire dances on the edge, teasing its subjects without falling into its traps; “MaXXXine” wobbles – sometimes cleverly, sometimes clumsily.
Moreover, supporting characters are underplayed, lacking depth or personality
Perhaps West’s intention was to blur the line between homage and parody. In doing so, however, he risks losing the very essence that made his earlier films so brilliant. There’s no reason to care about any of them, as most aren’t on screen long enough to make any impression. The ones that are start out as cliches – a sober director, a lascivious Southerner, two cardboard cops – and then don’t change. Considering West’s brilliant characterization in previous films, this is pretty disappointing.
