Even though MaXXXine is supposedly the last movie in the X trilogy helmed by Ti West and star Mia Goth, Bloody Disgusting is now reporting that "retro-style novelizations" of the three films are in the works, with the first one scheduled for release this September!
The books will be penned by Tim Waggoner, a Bram Stoker Award-winning author who has written many of these kinds of novelizations before, including the upcoming book version of Terrifier 2. Waggoner has also written novels for the Alien and Halloween franchise, specifically the Halloween Ends novelization and the story Alien: Prototype.
Apart from media tie-ins, Waggoner has written many original horror novels and YA books, as well as his writing help books, the Writing in the Dark series.

The very same faith that can drive humanity to build majestic works of art and band together to help those in need is also responsible for some of the most horrific events in our species’ history. This is something that genre filmmaker Ti West seems to understand very well, with many of his projects at least hinting at the darker side of faith.
From the Satanic-Panic-inspired murders of House of the Devil to the bible belt influences behind the X trilogy, it seems like West has been building up to the religious twist in the recently released MaXXXine for years now. However, there’s one underrated entry in the director’s filmography that I think epitomizes his obsession with faith-based horror while also setting the groundwork for much of his future work.

“MaXXXine” is a horror movie written and directed by Ti West starring Mia Goth. With Elizabeth Debicki, Michelle Monaghan and Kevin Bacon.
The adventures of this most psychopathic and unbalanced girl come to an end with a film full of tributes to cinema in a film that exudes love for the seventh art everywhere.
A film that you will enjoy more the more cinephile you are and, if you have lived the eighties, the better. A profound tribute to cinema and the deep conviction of its author, Ti West, in his own talent.
A new kind of Quentin Tarantino who pays homage to everything, who seems to have seen it all and who, like Wes Craven, allows himself to make a self-aware horror film that ultimately reflects on horror cinema itself and, beyond that, on the art of filmmaking itself.

Ti West and Mia Goth return with the final installation of the X trilogy, MaXXXine. Set during the period of 1980s, the film revolves around Maxine Minx’s journey from the adult entertainment industry to good old Hollywood. The only surviving member of the Texas massacre, Maxine was a headstrong girl determined to become a superstar, but someone was not happy with her progress. Visually, Ti West brings the 80s nostalgia to life. The bold colors, the punk fashion, the right-wing extremists campaigning against heavy metal, the home-video style footage, and the hunt for the Night Stalker taking over prime-time news—the first few minutes of MaXXXine are exciting. But unlike his previous works, X and Pearl, West fails to surprise this time. It is all too predictable, mediocre, and overall disappointing.

Does Ti West’s B-movie trilogy have any “A ideas” hidden underneath its layers of horror elements? MaXXXine dives deep into the psyche of aspiring stardom, capturing the essence of what it means to truly see oneself as an exceptional entity. Unlike simply desiring fame, Maxine Minx, played by the talented Mia Goth, embodies the belief that she is meant to be a star—a celestial body waiting for the universe to recognize her gravitational pull. In 2022, Ti West introduced us to X, a retro slasher that sprawled across the cinematic landscape with a troupe of circa-1979 pornographers who meet their...

The horror genre has seen its fair share of trilogies, but few have weaved narratives as compelling as Ti West’s ‘X’ trilogy which concludes with MaXXXine. Like its predecessors, this final film in the series delves deep into themes of exploitation, aging, and manipulation in Hollywood. Mia Goth’s Evolution According to West, Mia has brought something different to all of the different characters, and she sort of evolved as a person and as a performer, just as we all have. Goth’s portrayal of Maxine Minx stands out for its depth and nuance. Her character has transformed, from an aspiring starlet...

Ti West’s B-movie trilogy has explored many themes, but does it truly capture the essence of high concepts? The series began with ‘X,’ introducing viewers to Maxine Minx (Mia Goth) and her journey in the adult film industry. A parallel storyline featured the elderly and homicidal Pearl, both characters played by Mia Goth. Maxine’s iconic line in the mirror, ‘I’m a f***in sex symbol’, encapsulated her self-perception and ambition. The sequel, ‘Pearl,’ shifted the focus to a young version of Pearl set in 1918. The complex portrayal of Pearl wasn’t just about horror—Goth’s performance stepped into deeper emotional territory. Her...

Despite the country cooling down slightly this weekend temperature-wise, moviegoers still flocked into theaters for the latest weather-related disaster film, which harked back to a previous blockbuster from the ’90s. Read on for the weekend box office report.
Universal and Warner Bros.’ “Twisters,” directed by Lee Isaac Chung (“Minari”) and starring Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Anthony Ramos, came into the weekend with solid advance reviews at 78% on Rotten Tomatoes. Universal released the movie into 4,151 theaters on Friday, but by then, it had already amassed $10.7 million in Thursday previews with $2.7 million of that coming from Wednesday showings. The action sequel made $32.2 million on Friday (including those previews), and Universal is estimating an $80.5 million weekend for “Twisters,” which is well ahead of even the loftiest of predictions for the action sequel, putting it just ahead of “Godzilla X Kong” and just behind “Dune: Part 2” as far as the year’s big openers.

“Cleveland — today we are leaving you after six amazing weeks of shooting,” Gunn posted. “From the moment we first came here on a scout a tad less than a year ago and Terminal Tower was lit up with the colors of Superman, I knew you were a special place.

The horror film starring Maika Monroe as an FBI agent hunting Nicolas Cage — who plays a Satanic serial killer in prosthetics, white face powder, and lipstick — has become a viral hit. “Pan’s Labyrinth” and “Pinocchio” director Del Toro tweeted praise for the film on July 14.
“A great Oz Perkins film, 100 percent his vibe,” del Toro wrote. “It is comforting when a colleague fares well while staying faithful to the rhythms and motifs that have made his career. His metronome, his meticulous composition, and his uncanny sense of evil and impending doom.”
He continued, “It’s not horror as usual, or a thriller as usual. It bares the same preoccupations Oz has had from the start and his Cosmic dread. It is his vibe and signature and I...

Horror movies are a dime a dozen, so it's imperative that we celebrate the good ones when they arrive. Regrettably, audiences often miss out on a novel new entry to the genre due to bad or misleading marketing, poorly timed release dates, or an inability to grasp a unique concept, causing a potential blockbuster to flame out at the box office. On many occasions, such pictures will earn solid reviews from critics and go on to achieve cult status thanks to solid word-of-mouth. In other instances, however, many impeccably made horror pictures needlessly fade into obscurity after bombing in theaters and never find the success they deserve.
Well, I'm here to put an end to the madness. I've scoured the World Wide Web and located a handful of horror box office bombs with great RottenTomatoes scores in dire need of more attention. Some of these entries, like John Carpenter's classic "The Thing,...

Longlegs, starring Nicolas Cage is receiving rave reviews from critics and audiences. Directed by Osgood Perkins, it revolves around an FBI agent’s hunt for an occultist serial killer. However, Perkins has recently made waves not for his work on the movie, but for a controversial comment.

During an interview, Perkins spoke about his perspective on modern horror movies. However, he singled out the films of one acclaimed horror director, while expressing his thoughts on contemporary horror and filmmakers working in the space. Here is what Perkins had to say, which is likely to start a new beef.

Longlegs’ Osgood “Oz” Perkins is remarkably even-keeled for a filmmaker who’s enjoying the finest reviews of his career. His Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage-led horror-thriller has been the talk of the town for months now, as Neon’s marketing department has put together one of the more inspired promotional campaigns in recent memory. They’ve made Perkins’ fourth feature feel like a buzzy event film à la the work of his friend and collaborator, Jordan Peele, and the creepy procedural about an FBI agent’s (Monroe) self-actualizing pursuit of a Satanic serial killer (Cage) is more than worthy of that treatment. (Perkins played director Fynn Bachman in Peele’s Nope.)
Perkins’ Longlegs enters into theaters on Friday, joining Ti West’s MaXXXine, which bowed last weekend. The two genre pics share a rather interesting connection in that MaXXXine features a couple sequences involving the Psycho set on the Universal Studios backlot.

Beginning in March 2022, Ti West and Mia Goth have unfolded a decades-spanning saga with what’s commonly referred to as the “X Trilogy,” which of course kicked off with 1970s-set slasher X and continued with the 1918-set prequel Pearl and now the 1980s-set MaXXXine.
It’s of course extremely uncommon to get an entire trilogy of movies in just over two years, but what’s also incredibly unique about Ti West’s trilogy is that each film is a completely different beast altogether. The movies may not be massive box office hits but they’ve damn sure made their mark on pop culture, and they’ve even caught the attention of an all-time cinema great.

Filmmaker Joe Swanberg was a major figure in the mumblecore film movement, and as the years have gone by he has also earned several credits in the horror genre, whether by taking acting roles in films like A Horrible Way to Die, You’re Next, The Sacrament, and Blackout, or by directing the werewolf movie Silver Bullets and contributing a segment to the anthology film V/H/S. Now Swanberg has increased his number of horror credits by five, as Deadline reports that he has teamed with Jordan Yale Levine and Jordan Beckerman of Yale Entertainment to produce a slate of five horror films – all of which have already wrapped filming! Four of the titles are Helldorado, Kenneled, Yellow Eyes, and Monkey’s Magic Merry Go Round. The fifth movie is currently simply known as the Untitled Jae Matthews Project.

Picking up six years after the events of X, Maxine Minx has hit the big time as an adult entertainment star. Looking to make her start as a bonafide actress, she hits Hollywood — but California in 1985 is also the home of the eponymous serial killer, the Night Stalker. As he makes his mark on Western America, Maxine’s old wounds come back to the surface… and all is not as it seems.
When 1970s slasher romp X landed on screens, it was largely a hit with critics and viewers alike. The surprise of prequel Pearl already being in production only exacerbated the positive vibes, offering a completely difference perspective not only on West’s vision but also Goth’s horror queen chops.

In Moses Sumney’s first film acting role, he dies onscreen. That’s not so much a spoiler as it is an inevitability; the movie is MaXXXine, the final installment of Ti West’s beloved Mia Goth-starring horror trilogy from which nobody makes it out alive.
Sumney plays Leon, a Hollywood Boulevard video store employee and the closest thing to a best friend that Goth’s Maxine Minx has ever experienced. The story, which follows Minx as she attempts to catapult her porn career into Hollywood stardom, plays out as The Night Stalker — a real-life serial killer from the 1980s — terrorizes Los Angeles and seemingly starts to hunt down Maxine’s own circle. It’s a dream role for any actor building up their career, but Sumney — who self-deprecatingly describes himself as “very indecisive,” but in actuality seems to lean more contemplative and careful — admits he hesitated at first...

In addition to starring in Ti West’s 1970s-set slasher X, Scott Mescudi (aka Kid Cudi) was also an executive producer on the subsequent prequel Pearl and this year’s sequel MaXXXine, and the singer/actor has taken to Twitter this week to tease another collaboration with West.
Mescudi tweets, “Wait til u see what me and Ti West do next.”
We have no idea what Mescudi is referring to at this time, so it’s important to note here that it’s not necessarily even a horror project at all. While Ti West is primarily known as a horror filmmaker, making a name for himself with films including The House of the Devil, The Innkeepers, and The Sacrament, he’s also strayed from the genre. Of particular note, West directed the Western In a Valley of Violence back in 2016. Point being, it’s not a guarantee that West and...

Chris Nash’s new slasher is a unique, thought-provoking exercise in horror storytelling. Here’s our In A Violent Nature review.
“Horror movies had maybe gotten a little soft,” Ti West told us in a recent interview about taking a break from the genre before making his acclaimed X trilogy.
It’s hard not to agree with West; horror films have somewhat lost their edge. Theme has overtaken spectacle, and while that’s not necessarily a bad thing, you rarely get a proper shocker anymore.
Enter Chris Nash and his ambient, shocking slasher, In A Violent Nature.
You’ve probably already heard about the film through enthusiastic word of mouth. It’s a horror mostly shot from the perspective of the killer and features some properly gnarly kills and a controversial ending. Even when it doesn’t quite work, it’s a film to get excited about.

Martin Scorsese is a longtime fan of indie filmmaker Ti West.
Scorsese penned a letter to the New York Times to applaud West’s “X” trilogy which recently concluded with “MaXXXine.” Mia Goth starred in all three films as both characters Maxine and Pearl, with each feature taking place in a different decade. West deployed the popular aesthetics for each respective era for the trio of films, as Scorsese explains.
According to the Oscar-winning filmmaker, West’s “X” films all embody a “different type of horror, related to different eras in American moviemaking.”
The first feature “X” is “the ’70s, the slasher era,” as Scorsese wrote. Meanwhile, prequel “Pearl” showcases the “’50s melodrama in vivid saturated color,” while “MaXXXine” captured the “’80s Hollywood, rancid, desperate” onscreen.
The films are “three linked stories set within three different moments in movie culture, reflecting back on the greater culture,” as Scorsese penned.

The 1980s was a decade that left an indelible mark on the film industry, and its visual and sonic aesthetic continues to influence modern cinema to this day. Neon-lit cityscapes, synth-heavy soundtracks, and a dystopian cyberpunk feel defined the era’s sci-fi and action movies, from Blade Runner to The Terminator, and Total Recall to RoboCop. These iconic films, often shot on VHS-tape warm colors, have become synonymous with 80s nostalgia. Their influence can still be seen in contemporary movies that pay homage to these classics, serving up slices of nostalgia for audiences who grew up on these films. Ti West‘s...

After the much-anticipated release of MaXXXine, Ti West’s trilogy is finally complete. The latest installment tries to expand the horizons set by its predecessors, X and Pearl, but falls short of grounding its ambition. Continuing the tradition but losing steam The first, X, is ‘the 70s, the slasher era’; Pearl is ’50s melodrama in vivid saturated color; MaXXXine is ’80s Hollywood, rancid, desperate.’ This quote from Martin Scorsese encapsulates the essence of each film in the trilogy.

One of the standout scenes in director Ti West’s X and Pearl sequel MaXXXine (which is in theatres now) shows the character played by Mia Goth getting a life cast / head mold – which, as it turns out, is something Goth has had plenty of real-life experience with. Not only did she spend the day getting plaster spread across her face for the filming of that MaXXXine scene, but she also had to get a life cast done for the creation of the “old Pearl” makeup she wore in X, had another life cast done for the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe Blade reboot, and had a digital body scan done for Guillermo del Toro’s version of Frankenstein.
In a video breakdown of the MaXXXine life cast scene, Goth reminisced about her X life cast experience: “I did it for X when we were creating the mold for old Pearl,...

It hasn't been a blockbuster year for horror at the box office in 2024, but A24 and director Ti West just delivered a solid little debut with "MaXXXine." Building off of the success of "X" and "Pearl" in 2022, West's trilogy centered on Mia Goth's Maxine Minx has come to a close on a high note: The latest entry opened higher than either of the previous films by a pretty significant margin. While that's still small potatoes in the grand scheme of things, a win is a win.
"MaXXXine" opened to $6.7 million domestically over the weekend, landing at number four on the charts, with "Inside Out 2" ($30.3 million) and "Despicable Me 4" ($75 million) owning the lion's share of the attention from moviegoers. But horror fans still turned out to see what West and Goth had cooked up, with the film pulling in another $1.1 million overseas for a $7.8 million global debut.

The end of the Maxxxine trilogy lands in theaters this weekend. The trilogy of horror films explores generational journies of starlets and women reaching for superstardom. How they find that success varies greatly, from infamy to adult films and even iconic roles in B-movies. Ti West and Mia Goth collaborated to write Pearl while waiting to shoot X, while West wrote each of the other stories. With that much control over the franchise, we’ve assembled nine movies that inspired the horror showcases.
The Movies That Influenced X The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
The most obvious influence on X comes from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The 1974 horror classic not only broke the mold of what was possible in the genre. It also helped define a specific aesthetic that would be borrowed, recycled, and reused for years. Many grindhouse movies, including Ti West, Rob Zombie, and others, openly crib off The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
