Last night I reviewed it, now it's time to break down the bone-chilling horror flick... Ti West’s prequel to "X"... “Pearl”
THE MOST WTF MOVIE OF 2022!
Pearl tells the story of a young woman trapped on her family’s isolated farm where she must tend to her ailing father under the bitter and overbearing watch of her devout mother. Lusting for a glamorous life like she’s seen in the movies, Pearl finds her ambitions, temptations, and repressions all colliding in this technicolor-inspired origin story
of X’s iconic villain.
Pearl (subtitled An X-traordinary Origin Story) is a 2022 American slasher film directed by Ti West, and co-written by West and Mia Goth, who reprises her role as the titular character. David Corenswet, Tandi Wright, Matthew Sunderland, and Emma Jenkins-Purro feature in the supporting cast. A co-production of A24 and Little Lamb Productions, it is a prequel to X (2022) and serves as an origin story for the titular villain.
