'''''MaXXXine''''' is a 2024 American horror film written, directed, produced, and edited by Ti West. It is the third and final installment in West's ''X'' trilogy and a direct sequel to ''X'' (2022). Mia Goth reprises her role as Maxine Minx, starring alongside Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito, and Kevin Bacon. In the film, Maxine sets out for fame and success in 1980s Hollywood while being targeted by a mysterious killer.
''MaXXXine'' had its premiere at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on June 24, 2024, and was released in the United States by A24 on July 5, 2024. The film grossed $22 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing film of the series.
== Plot == In 1985 Los Angeles, amidst the Night Stalker murders, Maxine Minx successfully auditions for the lead in a new horror film, ''The Puritan II'', despite all of her previous film credits being in adult films. After sharing the news with her friend Leon and colleague Amber James, the latter invites Maxine to a party in the Hollywood Hills, which she declines. Maxine goes to work at her second job, a live peep show, where a mysterious, leather-clad figure watches with anger.
She meets another adult entertainer, Tabby Martin, who also invites her to the party that Amber mentioned, but Maxine declines again. As she walks home she is followed by a figure dressed as Buster Keaton, who corners her in an alleyway, brandishing a switchblade. Maxine pulls a gun on him, makes him strip, puts the gun in his mouth and forces him to perform fellatio on it, before stomping on and crushing his testicles with her boot.
The leather-clad figure leaves a police evidence VHS tape, which contains the adult film Maxine and her now-deceased friends had attempted to make six years prior.{{efn|name=X 2022|As depicted in ''X'' (2022)}} Upon watching it, she asks a confused Leon to find out where it came from. Meanwhile, in the Hollywood Hills, Amber and Tabby are killed and have their bodies branded with Satanic symbols.
Maxine is invited to meet with John Labat, a private investigator who informs her that her previous crimes will be revealed unless she meets with his employer, telling her she must appear at a specific address on Starlight Drive later that night or risk repercussions. LAPD detectives Williams and Torres question Maxine about Tabby and Amber, but she refuses to answer them. She later sees Labat following her and attacks him, warning him to stay away from her.
Maxine confides in her agent, Teddy Knight, who agrees to help her. Ignoring Labat's demands, Maxine begins learning the script for ''The Puritan II''. Meanwhile, Leon is slaughtered in his video store by the mysterious, leather-clad figure. On the set of ''The Puritan II'', Maxine meets the star of the first film, Molly Bennett, who mentions a similar party in the Hollywood Hills.
Soon after, Labat, angered by Maxine attacking him the previous day, chases her across the Universal Studios Lot with a gun before being caught and escorted away by security. Maxine tricks Labat into following her, during which she, Knight, and her friend Shepard Turei ambush Labat, and subsequently trap him inside of his car to be crushed by a junkyard compressor.
Maxine visits the address Labat gave her, which leads her to a house in the Hollywood Hills. She finds Molly's dismembered body inside a suitcase and learns the murders have been committed by her estranged father Ernest Miller, the televangelist, with the assistance of other fundamentalist members in his ministry. Miller reveals he and his followers have been filming the murders to create a snuff film intended to expose Hollywood for what he sees as its sinful and corrupting nature.
Thinking he can still "save" his daughter, Miller has his followers tie Maxine to a tree for an impromptu exorcism, which he also films. Detectives Torres and Williams interrupt the ceremony and cause a shootout, killing Miller's cohorts, injuring Miller, and giving Maxine time to free herself before the detectives are fatally wounded while pursuing Miller. Armed with a shotgun, Maxine eventually confronts her father at the Hollywood sign but is interrupted by a police helicopter.
Maxine envisions herself as a celebrity credited for helping stop her father, attending the premiere of ''The Puritan II'' and revealing in an interview that the film's director, Elizabeth Bender, will be directing a biographical film about her. Returning to reality, before telling him he gave her what she needed – divine intervention, Maxine shoots her father Miller in the face with the shotgun, killing him instantly. A month later, Maxine continues her work on ''The Puritan II'', hoping her success will never end.

== Production == ===Development=== In March 2022, West announced that he was working on the script for a third film in the ''X'' series, to be set chronologically after the events of ''X''. The project was stated to explore another sub-genre of horror and continue the depiction of cinema's influence on society, exploring how the development of home video releases did so. West stated that while a viewer can watch each movie independently without seeing the previous film, the films were made to "complement each other."
In June 2022, executive producer Peter Phok confirmed that a third film was officially in development, with West attached to the project.<ref name="Future_MW">{{cite web|url=https://movieweb.com/peter-phok-x-interview/|work=Movie Web|title=Exclusive: Producer Peter Phok Teases X Prequel, Sequel, & Other Exciting Projects|author=Dick, Jeremy|date=June 18, 2022|accessdate=June 22, 2022|archive-date=June 22, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220622064044/https://movieweb.com/peter-phok-x-interview/|url-status=live}}</ref> In September 2022, at the first Midnight Madness showing of ''Pearl'' for the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, a third film was officially announced, with a short teaser played after the post-credits. The clip was later released online for those not present at the event. West once again serves as writer/director and one of the producers, while Mia Goth will reprise her role from the first movie. Taking place in 1985 and titled ''MaXXXine'', the plot was confirmed to centre around Maxine, the only survivor of the "Massacre of ''X,''" as she continues to pursue her future in Hollywood. The teaser trailer was shot with the film fast-tracked to being green-lit by A24, following the successes of the previous two installments. Jacob Jaffke, Kevin Turen, and Harrison Kreiss were tapped to serve as producers, with Goth being listed as an executive producer.<ref name="MaXXXine_Deadline">{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2022/09/ti-west-mia-goth-pearl-maxxxine-trilogy-x-trilogy-toronto-film-festival-premiere-1235115680/|work=Deadline|title=Ti West Reveals 'X' Trilogy Finale With 'MaXXXine' Teaser Following Tonight's 'Pearl' TIFF Midnight Madness Premiere: WATCH|author=Fleming, Mike Jr.|date=September 12, 2022|accessdate=September 13, 2022|archive-date=September 13, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220913060112/https://deadline.com/2022/09/ti-west-mia-goth-pearl-maxxxine-trilogy-x-trilogy-toronto-film-festival-premiere-1235115680/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="MaXXXine_BD">{{cite web|url=https://bloody-disgusting.com/reviews/3731474/maxxxine-ti-west-teases-that-third-x-movie-is-inspired-by-the-vhs-boom-of-the-1980s/|work=Bloody Disgusting|title='MaXXXine' – Ti West Teases That Third 'X' Movie Is Inspired by the VHS Boom of the 1980s|author=Navarro, Meagan|date=September 13, 2022|accessdate=September 13, 2022|archive-date=September 13, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220913140558/https://bloody-disgusting.com/reviews/3731474/maxxxine-ti-west-teases-that-third-x-movie-is-inspired-by-the-vhs-boom-of-the-1980s/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="MaXXXine_BD2">{{cite web|url=https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3731491/maxxxine-a24-announces-third-movie-in-ti-wests-x-franchise-teaser/|work=Bloody Disgusting|title='MaXXXine' – A24 Announces Third Movie in Ti West's 'X' Franchise!
