Trailer
Why watch this film?
This is a horror movie that can be considered a tribute to the beloved slashers of the 1970s and also to the porn industry. In the story, a group of young people rent a remote house to shoot an adult film, but the owners of the residence are two sadistic and sexually troubled elderly people, promoting a massacre in the film crew. 'X: The Mark of Death' plays in a common place, explores little the daring of horror films, goes for obvious paths and stays very much in the box. There are some great moments, but they don't save the director Ti West's ('The House of the Devil') idea. The big highlights of the cast are Mia Goth, who plays two characters and has the resilience that every slasher production needs, and Jenna Ortega, who also did the new version of 'Panic'.

Pearl
After honoring the slasher horror in the acclaimed 'X: The Mark of Death', filmmaker Ti West turns to the end of the 1910s to tell the origin story of the character Maxine, who here takes on the name Pearl and is once again played by the brilliant Mia Goth ('The Cure', 'Suspiria'). In the plot, which features a photography reminiscent of Technicolor films like 'The Wizard of Oz', we follow the story of this young woman who can no longer stand living in the countryside with her abusive mother and her vegetative father. Through ups and downs, mistakes and successes, Pearl eventually has a breakdown - for not being able to take it anymore, for wanting change, for always being put aside. It's a much more mature production than the previous film, both in terms of direction and screenplay, since the movie knows how to develop its characters and, above all, create a tense atmosphere even with absurdly colorful and sunny scenes. Again, it is worth highlighting the impactful performance of Goth, snubbed at the 2023 Oscars, which shows all her potential. It's no wonder even filmmaker Martin Scorsese praised the film and the performance.
