Film
Six years after she survived a bloody massacre on a porn film set, Maxine Minx (Mia Goth) is following her Hollywood dreams. Wishing to leave the porn genre behind, the now-established young actress lands a role in a horror film. But her promising career will have to survive the rampage of a starlet-obsessed serial killer and the schemes of a dishonest private investigator (Kevin Bacon) who threatens to reveal her secrets. MaXXXine is the ultimate chapter in Ti West’s X trilogy (X, Pearl) that explores the seedy side of 80s Hollywood… and its blood-red glitz and glamor.
Over the last twenty years, Ti West has been showing an exceptional commitment to horror with nine out of ten films dedicated to the genre. MaXXXine is the fifth West film selected at NIFFF after X (2022), its prequel Pearl (2022), The Sacrament (2014), and Second Honeymoon – a short film from the V/H/S anthology (2012). West, who often writes, produces, directs, and edits his own movies, has demonstrated his fascination for 70s and 80s genre cinema on many occasions.
