The new trailer offers a first glance at the Ti West movie which stars Mia Goth as Maxine Minx as she tries to make it in [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-football-x-lego). It takes place in the 80s, boasting a retro flare, and follows the horrific events of X similar to Pearl, which was also played by Goth. This time around, the mystery killer is known as the 'night stalker' and they are on the loose. This is part of the [horror trilogy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-face-vodka) as X first introduces Pearl and Maxine with the influence of [old-school slasher movies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/special-halloween-event). Pearl was set a few decades prior and drew influence from the Wizard of Oz. Maxxxine is inspired by the music and fashion culture of the 80s scene.
