After the A24 dropped the teaser for Maxxxine back in April, the studio is finally serving up X fans with a hearty helping of 1980s slasher goodness with a new trailer. Much like the teaser, the trailer has the 1983 song “Obsession” by Animotion beating through the bloody tension.
Mia Goth reprises her role of Maxine “Max” Minx from X, as she’s been on the run from the law all the while trying to establish herself as a serious actress. It looks like she’s made a blossoming career, but someone is stalking her trying to take her out before things really take off.
Where X was an homage to grindhouse and 70s horror, and Pearl was more of a character piece with nods to early moviemaking, Maxxxine looks to be an unapologetic love letter to the bloody, sometimes over-the-top horror hits of the 1980s.
