Pearl
Technically a prequel to his earlier slasher film X (2022), Ti West’s Pearl comfortably stands up on its own as a bold, imaginative, and hugely effective work of horror. West already boasts a strong back catalogue of smart independent horror films, including The House of the Devil (2009), The Innkeepers (2011), and The Sacrament (2013).
Trapped on her family's isolated farm, Pearl must tend to her ailing father under the bitter and overbearing watch of her devout mother. Lusting for a glamorous life like she's seen in the movies, Pearl finds her ambitions, temptations, and repressions all colliding in this stunning, technicolor-inspired origin story of X's iconic villain.
