It actually reads, “Until you’re known in my profession as a monster, you’re not a star.” Maxine Minx: Do you know what happened to the last person who tried to kill me? I smashed his head in. In keeping with the 80s film aesthetic, a "Please rewind" sticker appears after the secrets, like many video store rentals.

There is blood, but it’s average
I was looking forward to the third film in this franchise, but I was a little disappointed!"X" and "Pearl" were very good and had a lot of suspense, gore, and darker tones! This was a bit more of a thriller drama with a good 80s soundtrack, but it lacks the suspense and spooky atmosphere. . The scenes could be more brutal and a lot more gore.
6 out of 10 from me!
There is action, but it’s average. It’s more of a who-knows-what slow burn, and the twist at the end was kind of predictable if you ask me. Mia Goth is still one of the greatest young actresses of her generation, she’s beautiful. I was happy with Esposito and Bacon.
