What to know: Adult film actress Maxine Minx moves to Hollywood to pursue her dreams of mainstream stardom while evading the wrath of a serial killer.
It’s the third installment of writer-director Ti West’s X trilogy, which follows two different budding starlets played by Mia Goth.
Kevin Bacon, whose character makes his debut in Maxxxine, told me he wanted to join the project because he loves “well-shot, compelling movies made on a shoestring budget.”
Why I’d recommend: Though it’s a horror movie, it’s a total blast. Goth plays an unforgettable, unconventional heroine, and the '80s movie aesthetic is to die for — literally.
Aspiring movie star and hustler Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of 1980s Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past. Wikipedia
