MaXXXine (2024) Spoiler Free Review | Come With Me | Spookyastronauts

Holy crap. I thought maybe a friend or roommate had opened the door while she was recording. That scared me too. 😂

[@user-hv5wi6nd4i]

You should of drove to the cinema as now something could of followed you walking home.

[@georgeheilman885]

This makes me want to go and rewatch X and Pearl back-to-back. Ah heck, I'd do that anyhow.

[@spookyastronauts]

DO ITTTT

[@famousthaneus9810]

Pearl had no relevance to this trilogy whatsoever (yes, I know, it’s a prequel). Nothing about it plays into MaXXXine whatsoever

[@jacksontondera3382]

@@famousthaneus9810it does because Pearl is a reflection of Maxine when she was in her younger years. Pearl is basically the dark side of Maxine and the film Pearl shows how far she will go to achieve fame and fortune.

[@jonfreeman9682]

I went back and rewatched X and it's still good even now. Basically Texas chainsaw massacre and I think we can all agree is the best of the series. The second is not too bad and this new one is the worst. Each one is a stand-alone story so you don't need to watch any of them to enjoy the others.

[@jnos93]

Your door opening and closing itself a few times during the video is kinda spooky lol

[@foolsAmongstGhouls]

I'm just really happy Ti West is getting the recognition he deserves as a filmmmaker

[@Mdgeist316]

Crime drama with mystery and gore scenes sounds like a love letter to giallo to me. This is still my most anticipated movie of the year along with Longlegs. Very jealous that you got to see it early.

[@dertodesking8379]

She said there’s no big Giallo influence. Malignant was another movie that was supposed to have a big Giallo influence but in the end it wasn’t more than the look of the killer that was Giallo inspired.

[@MadGeorgeProductions]

I didn't hear a word you said because I couldn't stop being freaked out by your door.

[@nicolecahoone5918]

Holy heck.....the door opening and closing behind u!!! :-O I cant wait for this to come out!

[@beckya580]

love your videos! yeah, the door opening and closing in back round freaked me out at first.

[@muelitasgoblingirl]

Can't believe that this is the first thing i found after waking up. Your excitement is contagious ❤

[@jaredarola8877]

Just rewatched both Pearl and X (in that order) last night to refresh my mind even though I’ve seen them each many many times 😂 I’m so excited for Maxxxine but lowered my expectations just a bit. Glad you got to see this one early!!🤩

[@spookyastronauts]

I think youre going in with a good mindset!

[@Craig121000]

I'll catch Maxxine on Netflix.

[@LibrasReact]

I don't watch trailers anymore as well because they give too much away! I'm glad I did watch this video though. As much as I would love to support horror in the theater (I did see the first two in theater) I think I am going to wait to see this one when it hits VOD.

[@skdee1013]

Lucky Lady! I can't wait to see Maxxxine next week! I would love to see a direct sequel to Pearl. We could see what was going on with Pearl and Howard, maybe when they were in their 40s🤔

[@pobstrel]

Agree. Ti West said he has an idea for a fourth movie and I hope it's Howard and Pearl's life after the events in Pearl.

[@careymulligan1403]

My big issue with the film was hiding the obvious like he was keeping the audience in suspense. The reveal was so obvious that I was hoping West had something else up his sleeve, but when he didn’t, it turns into a weak 3rd act. There’s a lot to love about the film, though.

[@spookyastronauts]

Yeah there’s a lot of elements I liked but it was very predictable

[@GSnickerz]

Ooooooh still looking forward to it! I was definitely anticipating giallo vibes so I’m glad I can talk myself down a bit before I really see it

[@GSnickerz]

I wanted to come back and rewatch your review now that I’ve seen it! The stories are all so messy and the “mystery” element is so easy to figure out. And all the side characters were quite flat :( Mia Goth as Maxine is great tho, and Ti West’s vision really came through in his direction and editing. It’s a stunning film to look at. My favorite thing is that Maxine is an out of control driver 😭😂

[@woodsro]

I just saw this last night and I think I quite enjoyed it! Perhaps not as much as X but more than Pearl. I think it's another fun pivot on horror subgenera to the 80s New York shot Italian slasher mystery and it completely nails that aesthetic with the way its shot and the stock characters (though if it was being true to it I think the gay friend would have had to die sooner 😄) but perhaps more importantly it's a nice thematic wrap up on everything they set up in the first two.

[@hermunkulus]

I honestly love how Ti just suddenly dropped this trilogy into our laps. I don't think any of us saw this coming. I Mia has been on fire. X and Pearl in 2022, Infinity Pool in 2023 and now MaXXXine. As a side note, I deliberately ignored the trailers. The studios don't knows how to make them spoiler free anymore.

Yo, as much as I tried to focus on what you were talking about for the first few minutes, your door opening and closing while you were talking was totally creepy. I hope you have a cat or something because explanations need to be made lol😅

Maxxxine has been one of my most anticipated movies of the year i can't wait to see it. When your door opened i thought Dean was going to jump scare you so i kept watching for him to sneak up behind you. 😂

[@Horrorzeit]

Gonna see it this friday and caaaaant waaait 🎉

[@Horrorzeit]

Just came out of the cinema, almost cried of disappointment. So sad :D Really liked your analysis though.

Thanks Gus

[@benwhittingtonmusic]

WHAT!!?!? You got to see it!?! :O

[@salemslotandmore8278]

Thank You for the Review and Video 😀

[@juliek.8822]

I totally agree with the lack of focus and I wish the movie leaned more into the fun over the top stuff. It finally released in my country so I had to go back to your review :)

[@filmfangirls9163]

I was wondering if it was going to tie in to X and I'm curious how they do that! I love the 80s so this is gonna fill me with so much nostalgia. Can't wait!!

[@spookyastronauts]

yay!!! hope you love it

[@NikolaTheodore]

Ti West is using this trilogy to pay homage to different cinematic eras. I think what people expected with Maxxxine was an homage to 80s slashers, and instead this was an homage to different kind of 80s horror: the 80s De Palma films, glossy, highly stylized, over-the-top horror that deals with moral corruption.

[@markaitkenguitar]

Oh my dear god no way you saw it this early! Woo! I’m sorry for not watching this video (yet) but I’m saving it until after I watch my most anticipated film of the year! Can’t wait to return here to compare opinions. Party on!

4:20 emma i think you should move out NOW 😂😂

[@robertpetre9378]

She’s gonna be a star 🌟

[@sweetandsavoury]

Omggggg I'm soooooo jealous I'm dying to see MaXXXine & Longlegs

[@chaoticmoviegirlie]

So sad I have to wait until it comes on VOD to watch because it's not playing in my country, but nonetheless super excited!! I love X to death and I like Pearl, so hopefully this can at least top the latter for me

[@tatubby4513]

I honestly hope ti west does make another film in this series. It would be interesting to see if maybe he do Maxxxine as an older woman like pearl and maybe she snaps like pearl.

[@dennisk207]

thanks for the honest review. I'm excited to see this but I really want to lower my lofty expectations and this helps.

[@stubarr70]

Savage Streets is a great reference point, definately in the vein of grimy 80s sleazy thrillers like that, Vice Squad, and Angel (not the Neil Jordan film). It's no where near as stylistically slick, but I felt there were a lot of nods to DePalma's Body Double.

[@deejaybee5361]

Hi, this may be a dumb question BUT i'm gonna ask anyway. I have not seen any of the trilogy yet. Are these films ones that need to be watched in order of release date? Or is there a better order I should be watching them in?

[@mimiM1970]

In my opinion, the best order is Pearl, X, then Maxxine!

[@spookyastronauts]

It doesn’t matter either way, just watch them again before maxxxine

[@gavvo-7640]

Once again... you are SOOOO lucky to see these advance screenings, im jealous!! I'm still super excited for Maxxxine. Mia Goth is a phenomenal actress. I love crime thrillers so I think this will be right up my street! BTW Emma, I think you need Russell Crowe to come and exorcise your office! That was some spooky shit going on right there!! You were not alone in that room! lol

[@MR3DDev]

Sounds like I am waiting to stream this, however, I already have my tickets for A Quiet Place Day 1

[@spookyastronauts]

me too!

[@thebeastandhistemptress]

Sounds like it’s gonna be like a Brian de palma like horror crime film…great spoiler review I’m very interested and looking forward to it.

[@liamjohnson9573]

Excellent review thank you. I’ll watch X DVD. Before I see it at Cineworld in Solihull

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

I haven't been this stoked for a movie in a really long time...maybe IT part 1, I don't know. At any rate, I'm really looking forward to this one. Even if it's not that scary, I do love a good crime thriller, and I love the visual aesthetic apparent in the trailer. It almost could make me forget how goofy the 80s actually were.

[@BoomsRiddico4868]

You do that thing where you go UP at the end of every SENTENCE!

[@spookyastronauts]

Because I’m Australian and it’s the way we talk.

[@natalie8304]

I want a Maxine prequel, like her being in her father’s cult and escaping

[@MrJOKERZ68]

Yeah 80's movies had a lot of "product placement" that was apart of the plot like Reese's Pieces in E.T.

[@danielsweet858]

Eating my heart out Emma! Seems like I've been waiting for years...

[@jasonraschen1109]

Hey, that's so cool you got invited to that secret screening. I plan on seeing it when it comes out. I usually don't watch trailers but I've seen this one and love both the cast and vibe.

[@zorac91]

I'm re-watching Pearl and X this weekend, I love them so much. Thank you for presenting your point of view and making us go and watch the movie with the correct mindset when it premieres!

[@iwatchyoutube9610]

Just like expected. It could never live up to Pearl. I was hoping it would reach X but that doesn't seem to be the case either. Maybe now with lowered expectations we'll enjoy it more.

[@darkhours295]

I’m going Sunday and I can’t wait. Ordered my maxxxine keychain from A24. I’m sooo ready.

[@MayteraMarble]

I am so pumped for this! I loved X and Pearl!

[@Edowin-jz2sj]

I wasn't as big of a fan of X and Pearl as most Horror fans and critics, but I still enjoyed them and I'm looking forward to Maxxxine as well.

[@chris18560]

I got a big Cruising vibe from the trailer so I’m not surprised that this leans more crime drama than horror. I haven’t seen Savage Streets yet so maybe I’ll watch that and rewatch Angel before next month.

[@justheretocommentokdontwan685]

wow you're lucky, Maxxxine isn't even on my mind yet, i'm still sitting here patiently waiting to see In a Violent Nature

[@vanessalaughtland4417]

I'm glad you mentioned to rewatch X beforehand, I wouldn't have thought it would be super important given how much further on in the timeline it is! I think I might end up liking this more than X by the sounds of it, I liked that film a lot but felt let down by the hype, and I weirdly enjoyed Pearl a lot more. I love the 80s and crime films so it sounds right up my alley!

[@danielcarlson5362]

This sounds like a fun installment! I'm in the mood for some popcorn horror! :)

[@anthonygray6570]

Just watched it today for early access personally I think it’s the best one out of the 3

[@squid_tea]

I'm going to the drive ins to see it today super excited

[@eu_o_andy]

I didn't enjoyed X and Pearl as much as other people did so maybe this is the one for me

[@taydestiny38]

Both X and Pearl were trash to me, so I may stream this whenever it’s available.

[@kblixt]

Is this a top trilogy in your opinion?

[@nukexD]

I recently watched X and Pearl for the first time so it’s pretty fresh in my mind! I think I watched Barbarian instead of X during that time. My gf didn’t want to go back to back weekends to the movies 😢 Can’t wait to see Maxxxine!

[@stevenvenn]

The opening and closing of your door (with a spooky shadow that looked like a man outside on the wall) had me screaming “Emma, lookout! It’s a ghost!” I had to watch a second time to get the content. 😱😂👻 Looking forward to Maxxxine and completing the trilogy. I definitely need to revisit X, it’s been awhile.

[@apulpie]

no way you got to see it already 😭😭😭 i have to wait until mid july

[@fredbergstrom4866]

X was incredible so I was really excited to see this. A bit of a let down from the other 2 but great so Goth in the part again. Know I'm just holding out hope for Long legs. I saw X and Pearl multiple times in the theater. I most likely will not see this one agaiñ until it's streaming

I didn't expect it to be as good as X or Pearl but I think objectively it just fell short on its own merit.

I lived in Los Angeles in the early 1980s. Cannot wait to see this! Yay!

The way to watch the trilogy Watch 1. Pearl (set in 1971) 2. X (set in 1979) 3. Maxxxine (set in 1985)

[@Pat6670]

Pearl was not set in 1971..it was set in 1918.

[@ybwtdwpxl]

😂HeyHeyHey Why １９７１？ You Ｓ？

[@user-zc1wf7qq6v]

Probably my fave movie trilogy honestly lol. Cheesy, campy, funny, and each story is so vastly different but yet connected and yet very simple plot that lead to a whole trilogy.

[@starfleetbrat]

wow walking to the cinema late june like it isn't freezing right now lol I've been looking forward to MaXXXine but not as much as I was for Pearl. Pearl just grabbed me in all the right ways from the character to the cinematography style. I think the trailer for MaXXXine doesn't seem very character driven, and you did mention that the movie wasn't either. Its interesting though because its only set a few years after X. Still, I do love me an 80s style movie so will definitely be watching when I am able to! I wonder if a fourth movie could be about Maxine today or in a few years so we can see if she made it famous or not.

[@mikeaffrunti2463]

Is your house haunted. The door behind you is opening and closing. It starts at 3:58 & goes to 5:15. You should do a mini investigation to see whats going on.

[@thesecretshade]

Could just be the wind. I had a door that would do that in my old house. And only that door for some reason. But definitely interested to hear from her if that's the case 🙂

[@ssatva]

The convoluted plot focus you describe feels kind of De Palma, perhaps? So curious to see how this one will hit me!

[@MaXi-t5u]

Did this movie have chase scenes involving the killer like in Scream? Or do we only see the killer's hands, feet and back like in Italian horror films? Another question: does he look like a slasher?

[@Patrifice]

SPOILERS IN THIS COMMENT: I disagree with you saying the movie doesn't have one clear deeper meaning. For me it was all about how the people in power (here the church, the patriarchy etc.) spin narratives to demonize people they perceive as "Other" (in this case: Sex workers, Horror fans etc.). And this movie said "No, it's not the horror movies or the sex work or things like queerness that are hurting your children or making them angry. It's YOU! It's your repression of sexuality, your opinions, your own fears of queerness, sex work, flesh-based desires, that are hurting children!" The villain being a priest who acts like he has the moral high ground, even though he's the one murdering people, spoke volumes to me! Oh and about the Giallo stuff: I thought Giallos were all about great set design and costuming, strong primary colour accents and unseen killers with black leather gloves 🤔 So I thought it was on point but I'm not a Giallo expert, so maybe it was just surface level.

[@felinetherapy4782]

So excited! Love the 80s and I like crime dramas so hopefully will really work for me!

[@lavishlewinsky]

I’m excited 😱⭐️

[@medusaslair]

I love that it wasn't as much horror and gore, it was so much more serious and adult because of that. Lots of horror and gore always just makes it a bit ridiculous and even childish and takes from the storytelling. Like a bunch of teenagers got together and just wanted to see endless slashing and laugh. The more horror and gore, the weaker and worse the story is. This was way better because you can feel it was made for adults, not teenagers.
