Why you should go: Who could have predicted that Ti West’s 2022 throwback horror film X, about a group of would-be pornographers setting up camp in rural Texas, was the beginning of a genre-bending, era-spanning trilogy? The film was followed up with the stylish prequel Pearl, set in 1918 and deeply indebted to 1940s and ’50s melodrama. The final chapter, Maxxxine, follows X’s final girl Maxine (Mia Goth) as she makes her way to Hollywood for a shot at fame. There, she revels in the excesses of ’80s L.A. while being pursued by real-life serial killer, Night Stalker.
