“MaXXXine” presents fans of the “X” series with the evolution of Minx, who’s progressed from terrorized blue movie vixen in 2022’s “X” to an actress determined to be a Hollywood star.

Whereas the first film was a throwback to ‘70s exploitation pics, and “Pearl” (2022) was a twisted Technicolor fever dream, “MaXXXine” evokes the era of ambition and greed. Elizabeth Debicki, Goth’s co-star, described the film “a love letter to the 1980s, ‘80s cinema, and cinema in general.”

The film takes place in 1985 Los Angeles. “St Elmo’s Fire” is a hit at the box office and the Night Stalker is butchering his way through the city. Success beckons when Maxine gets the lead role in horror sequel “The Puritan II.” But she's forced to confront her sinister past when the bodies of her friends start piling up.

Featuring an A-list cast and a killer 80s soundtrack, those after full-bloodied frights won’t be left disappointed. Simply read on for how to watch “MaXXXine” online and discover everything to know about streaming the hit horror film.
