No more shooting amateur porn videos in a reclusive barn.
The year is 1985, six years after the events of West’s first entry,X.
But there are a few things that threaten her dream of becoming famous.
First, there’s a serial killer on the loose in Los Angeles nicknamed the Night Stalker.
Maxine knows three of the victims, who all died within three days.
That puts her on the radar of two detectives (Michelle Monaghan,Bobby Cannavale).
Might the Night Stalker and Maxine be one and the same?
“The past ain’t finished with you,” the P.I.
“It’s gonna keep knockin' at your door.”
(Appropriate for an aspiring horror film star like Maxine.)
Maxine, who suspiciously looks identical to Pearl when she was younger, gets away in the end.
West shotXand the trilogy’s second entry, prequelPearl(also released in 2022), back to back.
