TITLE-MaXXXine
SOURCE-Blu Ray
Few years ago pretty sure I covered Ti West first 2 films in this trilogy,X and Pearl. I loved X and enjoyed Pearl. So once I saw MaXXXine had hit home video I ordered a copy.
Maxine aka Mia Goth is in 80s era LA. Working in porn still. The Night Strangler is loose. Maxine is trying to get a part in aa horror film. Puritan II,a sequel to a infamous video nasty.
After getting cast in Puritan II Maxine starts being followed by a asshole played by Kevin Bacon. And starts getting odd messages and even a VHS.
Take 80s LA Porn Scene. Mix in the Hollywood of that time. Add in the Satanic Panic and you get a love letter to 80s Hollywood and its culture.
Best part is unlike so many films I see set in the 80s this looks like how the 80s were. Not how people that were not born back then think it looks.
Great soundtrack,good FX work. And the cast is good. Bobby Carnivalle is great in his part.
This feels in a way like an 80s version of Once Upon a time in Hollywood. Just minus the way over long length,and Tarentino's need to put feet on the screen too much.
MaXXXine gets a B+
