This and Pearl were shot down here in New Zealand back to back during one of our Covid lockdowns. The effects were done by the team at Weta Workshop (where I work 😊). It was so much fun to see gore back at the workshop as well as the incredible Pearl character make up Mia Goth wore. It’s a great love letter to 70s slashers such as the original Texas Chainsaw.

[@ZUKO-FROMTHEFIRENATION]

I read somewhere that each death is foreshadowed. We see a crocodile in the wall background when we first see Bobby-Lynne. Wayne: “Their eyes are gonna pop right out their skulls”. Lorraine is the first one to notice the rifle when Howard aims it a Wayne when they arrive. The same one that that kills her later on. Not really sure about the others. Ty West really did THE MOST with this one. Everything was thought of. Can’t wait for your “Pearl” reaction

Pearl is sort of a prequel to X. Pearl is the name of the elderly woman, and Howard is her husband. Pearl, is what you might call her origin movie and how she descended into madness. Equally chilling if not more so. BTW, Mia Goth plays both characters Pearl and Maxine in this film, it was a big gotcha moment when I discovered this.

Pearl is such a great movie, i cant wait for your watch.. its kinda a look into what made Pearl spiral, so its a little less horror, but its still amazing

[@tmac326]

Honestly, I like X but it just feels more like an homage to old slashers from the 70’s/80’s. Now Pearl on the other hand, was my top film of 2022. I love it so much that I bought and framed the poster for it. Pearl has a lot more going on character wise, it’s shot really well and just feels a lot more original. Plus Mia Goths performance was deserving of an Oscar nomination.

[@paulchavez3039]

Yea, no.. I knew her from Scream 5, then realized she was in The Babysitter 2, and appeared briefly, as a kid, in one of my favorite ghost franchises Insidious.. So, I got a little more hype for a new scream queen.. Then her screaming scene became iconic in the X trailers and I became a huge fan, following everything she's in now, and then Wednesday came around.. Can't wait to keep seeing her in more horror, hopefully.. but I'm probably gonna give Miller's Girl a shot

I fuckin LOVED THIS MOVIE it was my favorite horror movie of 2022. The cast is great, I like how this is an elevated slasher, the kills were fun, the old couple was so weird, the acting was great, it was unnerving especially during the infamous old couple sex scene (I saw that in theaters and let me say that was such a visual especially with how loud it was), and this movie introduced me to Mia Goth who I’m in love with now as an actor. She actually also played the old woman Pearl in this movie so that was really impressive playing Maxine and Pearl. The prequel to this movie called Pearl is also fantastic. The concluding chapter of this trilogy Maxxxine is coming out this year and I’m so hyped for it bc it’s about to go down as one of the best horror trilogies ever. I love the commentary about aging in this movie.

It’s primarily a movie about grief and envy. It’s okay to grieve your youth or be jealous of a youthful person, but if that becomes, envy, bitterness, hatred, and slut shaming, then it’s not okay. She could have found a positive way to deal with her situation, but she chose loathing and violence. It is definitely sad in a lot of ways.
