- 'Maxxxine' slays 1980s Hollywood
- When: 'Maxxxine' opens in theaters July 5.
- 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.
