It’s actually "Until you are known as a monster in my profession, you are not a star.". Maxine Minx: Do you know what happened to the last person who tried to kill me? I crushed her fucking head. In keeping with the 80s movie aesthetic, after the credits, "Rewind sweetly" like many video rental stores.
There is blood, but medium level

I was waiting for the third movie in this series, but I was a bit disappointed!"X" and "Pearl" they were really good and with lots of suspenseful scenes, gory scenes and a darker tone! This was a bit more of a thriller drama with some good 80’s soundtracks, but it lacks the sense of suspense and creepy mood. The kill scenes could be more brutal and much bloodier.
There is action, but medium level
It’s more of a slow burn of whoever mentions it and the twist at the very end was pretty predictable if you ask me. Mia Goth remains one of the best young actresses of her generation, she is gorgeous. I was pleased with Esposito and Bacon. It’s a 6 out of 10 from me!
Looking for something else to add to your watchlist?
“X” will remain my favorite and "Pearl" next!. See what movies and TV shows are airing this month.
