Pearl, the upcoming period horror prequel to X starring Mia Goth, is on the way, and you can catch the trailer right here.
Back in March, A24 launched X, a period horror with an interesting narrative conceit. The film came to us courtesy of The House of the Devil and The Innkeepers director, Ti West and was an entertaining watch, completely unique yet similar in flavour to other A24 releases such as Midsommar.
Now we have a trailer for that prequel flick, as well as a synopsis:
‘Trapped on her family’s isolated farm, Pearl (Mia Goth) 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’s ambitions, temptations, and repressions all collide in the technicolour-inspired origin story of X’s villain.’
We certainly enjoyed the way X combined trashy sensibilities with an artistic style and as such, are looking forward to checking out Pearl. The film is set to arrive sometime in September, which gives you time to check out X if you haven’t already.
We’ll bring you more news on Pearl as we hear it.
