Ti West is one of the most accomplished (and entertaining) auteurs to emerge from A24 and Blumhouse , independent studios that are leaning into a subgenre of arthouse cinema that has come to be known as “elevated horror.
Elevated horror is distinguished from mass-market horror’s reliance on recycled templates and jump scares by a willingness to explore contemporary issues and themes.
The first of the three films to be released was X ( 2022 ), which is set in 1979 at the height of America ’s Golden Age of Pornography.
X tells the story of Maxine , a stripper who has fled her domineering televangelist father and is now determined to become famous by starring in a hardcore flick produced by her middle-aged boyfriend.
The need to escape an ordinary life—to become somebody—and the conflation of celebrity with love are the trilogy's overriding themes.
Goth co-wrote the trilogy’s second entry, Pearl(2022 ), a prequel that provides the backstory to X.
X was shot in New Zealand during the COVID pandemic when Hollywood productions were suspended.
The couple were married in a live-streamed Las Vegas wedding by an Elvis impersonator.
