A promissora conclusão da trilogia X/Pearl/MaXXXine encanta com o seu tom insidiosamente sinistro, obscenidade de terror, audiovisuais dos anos 80 e cenário de estúdios de cinema de Hollywood, mas a representação de um culto satânico e o efeito final do ponto de partida lançam o filme numa ilusão barata, de argumento preguiçoso, indesejada pelos fãs do franchise. Além disso, nem mesmo a presença do famoso "Night Stalker" (ver o excelente documentário da Netflix) não é explorada pelo filme, que só o menciona em reportagens. [KVIFF]

O filme mais fraco da trilogia de terror de West, embora seja uma referência aos filmes B de terror sujos e sangrentos dos anos 80, é um verdadeiro prazer do ponto de vista audiovisual. O filme joga de forma exemplar com a estilização de época (aluguer de VHS, efeitos práticos de gore), o cenário de fábrica de sonhos e de divertimento barato do filme (passado em Hollywood e nos cenários de cinema da Universal), e numerosas referências a outros filmes de terror e citações de motivos e clichés apropriados ao género. No entanto, o argumento não tem o refinamento e a sofisticação do filme do meio da série, sendo mais parecido, em qualidade, com os velhos filmes de terror tolos aos quais presta uma homenagem ostensiva.

Ti West once again convincingly fetishizes the horror subgenre of yesteryear, unfortunately this time I have a bit of a problem with it, because this particular slice of horror (80s trash set in the streets of a big city) is not one of my favorites. I guess subjectively I would have much preferred if MaXXXine had a more prominent role for the giallo elements that it is partly based on. I can tolerate a sleazy thriller with a charmingly demented satanic panic twist, but it won't become my favourite. And even though it's pleasantly refreshing in specific moments, uncompromising and, for all its stupidity, nicely contrived, the various motifs fit together meaningfully.

The worst of the loose trilogy and three levels lower than the previous and excellent Pearl. It's as if Ti West ran out of ideas and Mia Goth in the producer's chair didn't help. It has no pizzazz, not a single memorable scene, no visual ideas. The insane 80s atmosphere is minimally exploited, and if it was at least as dull as the typical slashers of the era, I'd say to myself "good, West pays homage skillfully". Except the gore and murders are almost absent, the whole thing is devoid of wit and suspense, and the director does try to make a point, but it's pulled out of his ass with the whole "cult" thing, and I just shook my head during the shootout by the pool. Kevin Bacon makes a couple of unnecessary appearances, and his role is fades out in a few minutes, and Goth, whose performance in Pearl had me in a trance, bored me here. If only West had at least included the Night Stalker, who is mentioned throughout the film, but no way. It almost feels like West and the crew just wanted to fool around with the camera and conceived the whole thing in a lazily, half-assed and half-throttled manner.

MaXXXine Minx is an adult film star, but she wants to take the next step in her career and is aiming for the lead role in an upcoming horror film. But succeeding in a Hollywood filled with madmen, serial killers and violence won't be easy. Especially when her past comes to mind. Ti West has conceived the final installment of his trilogy as a great homage to the 80s and the brainy thrillers and horror films of that era, and has uncompromisingly subordinated everything to it. Anyone expecting a traditional thriller with light genre games is in for a bummer. MaXXXine isn't afraid to be a wild, ridiculous and bizarre B-movie. And it certainly doesn't try to be cute. But it's undoubtedly interesting not just to fans of what West is paying homage to here.
