My Name is Pearl

Pearl (Trailer)
(Ti West, 2022)
 

Ti West's X was a welcome return to horror earlier this year. It didn't just mark his comeback to the genre that made him, but it signalled the first great movie of 2022 for this blog.
 
Had mixed feelings over the announcement of a second West film Pearl, the prequel to X, coming out later this September: on one hand, prequels don't exactly have a good track record; while on the other, even a lesser West film, such as his Jonestown flick, The Sacrament (2013), was still entertaining.

The latest trailer, for Mia Goth's character Pearl, who happens to be the creepiest geriatric since The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014), has me feeling way more confindent about the film. Genuinely want to find out about how that big old crocodile got there.
