Disappointment - MaXXXine review by griggs
Oh, MaXXXine, what have you done? The film, which promised to be the grand finale of the X series, instead delivers a masterclass in mediocrity. With a plot so thin you could see through it, characters more lifeless than mannequins, and dialogue that could put an insomniac to sleep, MaXXXine truly redefines the term "disappointment." It's almost impressive how a series that began with such promise and rose to acclaim with Pearl could nosedive so spectacularly. What a sad end to a trilogy that had the potential to be so much more, leaving us with this sad, sorry excuse for a finale.

Effective - MaXXXine review by sb
FILM & SHOKTOBER Ti West’s final film in the trilogy picks up a few years after the first one finished. Having survived the massacre and dipped her toe (well rather more than her tie) into porn we find Maxxxine (Goth) a highly paid adult star who wants to break into mainstream movies. She auditions for a part in a straight to video horror sequel after impressing the director (Debicki) and hopes for fame. Meanwhile a seriel killer is carving up young girls and her past seems to catch up with her as a PI (a splendidly sleazy Bacon) is tailing her and leaving clues that current events and what happened in the first film are linked. Set in 1985 it’s got wall to wall needle drops and is very good at recreating the past with loads of knowing references to the period. Goth is very good in the part as is Debicki playing a director who wants to make great art but is stuck making video nasties and Bacon has great fun. It doesn’t stint on the gore and dresses the killer up straight out of a Giallo movie - the only thing I found was the ending was a bit of let down and less than convincing. So overall a good movie end to the series - 4/5

Sleazy horror film - MaXXXine review by Alphaville
After the excellent Pearl and okay X this third bite of the cherry from director Ti West and star Mia Goth is just too seedy to like. Set in the porn industry of 1980s Hollywood, it’s as sleazy as the porn films themselves. It doesn’t help that our porn star anti-heroine Maxxxine is vicious and unlikable. There’s also a serial killer on the loose, although the sagging plot seems more interested in Maxxxine’s efforts to be a proper film star. And when we meet the serial killer he turns out to be nothing better than a gurning caricature. Pearl was great, Ti, but it’s time to move on and leave the horror genre behind.
