MAXXXINE

It’s the 1980’s in Los Angeles and adult entertainment actress Maxxxine Minx (Mia Goth) lands a leading role in a B-grade horror movie. Right when she begins filming, her friends start to be murdered one by one, and she realises her life is in jeopardy. Is the culprit the notorious Night Stalker or someone from her past? Maxxxine has a fierce determination to protect herself, first evidenced when she exacts brutal eye-watering revenge on an assailant who threatens her with a knife. I was engaged in the story until the final 25 minutes when the villain’s disappointing reveal felt far-fetched. Started strong but lost its way on the home stretch.
