MaXXXine (2024)

Los Angeles, 1985. With the elusive Night Stalker's killing spree gripping the city by fear, fiercely ambitious adult film star Maxine Minx nails a make-or-break audition in the glitzy movie capital of America. But just as her star begins to rise, six years after surviving the merciless massacre in X (2022), a shady private detective threatens to snatch away Maxine's precious ticket to mainstream stardom. Now, the bloody stains of a dark past scream for closure. Can the televangelist's daughter secure her place in the spotlight, or will Maxine become a sad statistic along with Hollywood's every other dead starlet? —Nick Riganas
