With less than a month remaining until its arrival, Pearl early reviews are in and critics are praising Mia Goth's X horror movie prequel. The upcoming film is set 60 years before its predecessor and will center on Goth's titular character, exploring her origin story in 1918 as she struggles with feelings of isolation caring for her comatose father and the micromanagement of her mother, while also dreaming to become the next Hollywood star.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Goth, who portrayed an older version of Pearl in X, returns to lead the cast of Pearl that also includes David Corenswet, Tandi Wright, Matthew Sunderland and Emma Jenkins-Purro. Ti West is also back to direct the horror movie prequel, having co-written it with Goth and filmed it in secret on the same set as X right after completing the acclaimed slasher pic.
The Pearl early reviews should come as a very promising sign for those who enjoyed West's X, namely as the majority of their praise is directed towards Goth's performance in the central role and the Technicolor palette from cinematographer Eliot Rockett. Given the very experimental nature of the horror movie prequel, having been shot in secret, it should also be a promising sign for producer A24 to see an early wave of positive reception for the film.
With audiences now familiar with the world of X and Pearl early reviews praising the horror movie prequel, it will be interesting to see how the film favors in comparison to its predecessor. Having grossed over $14.5 million against its $1 million production budget, the original was a modest box office success, and with West having teased plans for a third X movie, it seems likely Pearl could at least match X and keep the filmmaker's franchise hopes alive.
The what movie?
