The Bette Davis quote shown at the beginning of the film is misquoted
Narrative
In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.. The Hollywood star Maxine puts her cigarette out on is Theda Bara's, the actress Pearl took inspiration from to name her alligator in Pearl (2022)..
I crushed her fucking head
It is actually "Until you're known in my profession as a monster, you're not a star.". Maxine Minx: Do you know what happened to the last person who tried to kill me? Fitting with the film's 80s aesthetic, after the credits, a "Be kind rewind" sticker is shown, like on many video store rentals..

Gimme All Your LovinWritten by Frank Beard (as Frank Lee Beard), Billy Gibbons & Dusty Hill (as Joe Michael Hill)Performed by ZZ TopCourtesy of Warner RecordsBy arrangement with Warner Music Group Film & TV Licensing. In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. However, as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Los Angeles, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.Maxxine is a film that really emphasizes style but falls short in the substance department.
Despite this, the film's unique style ultimately triumphs over its shortcomings
While I appreciated the throwbacks to slasher and horror films of the 80s, the plot and execution felt a bit disjointed and lacked coherence. Mia Goth once again delivers an enigmatic performance, though her character felt less compelling compared to the previous instalments in the trilogy.The third act was somewhat disappointing as it didn't live up to the intense buildup. As a fan of the genre, I found elements to enjoy, but I couldn't help feeling let down by the less-than-epic finale, especially after the thrilling conclusions of the previous two films..
