MaXXXine First Reactions: A “Gutsy, Gritty and Grisly” End That “Perfectly Rounds Out the Horror Trilogy”

Last week, Ti West surprised fans with an early screening of MaXXXine , making them the first audience in the world to see the film, and now, last night, he premiered the film in Los Angeles at the TCL Chinese Theatre.

With the film set to hit theaters next Friday, momentum is growing for the highly anticipated conclusion to West's horror trilogy about the star, Maxine Minx.

MaXXXine will follow Minx in her 1980s Hollywood era, where a mysterious killer on the scene threatens to reveal her past.

While reviews are still under embargo, the first reactions from critics have hit social media, and people are saying that West's latest "brings the X Saga to a glorious bloody conclusion".

Critic Courtney Howard called the film "Gutsy, gritty and grisly", and Tessa Smith from Mama's Geeky says MaXXXine "perfectly rounds out the horror trilogy with cringe and suspense".

The most praise seems to be for Mia Goth's performance, with multiple people saying that MaXXXine "proves why she's an absolute star" and that her performance "will leave you speechless".

People also had high praise for West's '80s approach, saying it is "pulsating with 1980s giallo spirit" and "is a paean to gritty 80s Hollywood thrillers like Angel ".

MaXXXine hits theaters July 5.
