1979 im Süden der USA: Ein Filmteam erreicht ein abgelegenes Bauernhaus im tiefsten Texas, um einen Porno zu drehen. Davon haben Regisseur R.J., seine für den Sound zuständige Freundin Lorraine sowie Schauspieler Jackson Hole und die Stripperinnen Maxine und Bobby-Lynne ihren Gastgeber jedoch nichts erzählt. Dabei handelt es sich um ein isoliertes, älteres Ehepaar, das besonders großen Wert darauf legt, dass es ihren Gästen gut geht. Als jedoch die Nacht hereinbricht, wird das schon leicht aufdringliche Verhalten des Paares plötzlich zusehends gewalttätig.
- Garrett Wilkins5. Juni 2026I actually thought this was a pretty decent slasher. It didn't take itself too seriously at times, but that lighter approach is actually a good thing and fit in perfectly with the movie's throwback vibe. It does a great job capturing that gritty, late-1970s aesthetic while balancing a sharp sense of humor with some genuinely tense sequences. Mia Goth is excellent here, and Jenna Ortega puts in a really strong performance as well. The entire cast feels fully committed to the tone, which keeps the film fun without undermining the horror. Now that Ti West's trilogy is complete, I lean towards this being my favorite of the three, over both Pearl and MaXXXine. It just strikes a really good balance between the horror and the entertainment value.
- jackmeat5. November 2024My quick rating - 7.1/10. Another one I was looking forward to. Oh, is there some shit in this one to creep you out, and it has nothing to do with gore or jump scares LOL!!! Ti West isn't a stranger to horror, and this is about as much in control for him as he has gotten on the full budget. Along with full backing, he seems to have had free rein on the subject matter, which is just as important as the horror elements themselves. The group of young adults heading to Texas to shoot a porno movie is a nice and unique setup for what is to come, but the attention to detail in the scenes of this faux movie being made is really well done. Definite attention to detail for the setup is nice, and some may think unnecessary. I welcomed it since taking this movie in as a whole, and it is about as stylized a horror flick as we have seen in a while. The cast all play their parts a bit better than one expects for a horror flick, as well as most especially Mia Goth, who pulls double duty as the wannabe superstar using porn to break into the biz, along with playing the elderly wife of the farm's owner, where they are renting the guest house to film at. And the old couple that runs this place is an entirely new take on what we are expecting in a slasher flick. They are quirky, to say the least, and where their characters lead us brings you right to my first comment I made above while watching. Between the tropes that are all included for our viewing pleasure and the location itself, the Texas Chainsaw vibe is strong and clearly an influence for this one. Though the movie takes its time building up the tension, it is done so while being backed by some very clever and wonderful camerawork to entertain the eyes. And as soon as it is time for any bloodletting, it is brought on with plenty of gusto, so don't worry about any PG-13 crap. Always a good sign when long after the movie ends, there are still images stuck in your head. I have TWO clear ones that haven't left me yet, and I am sure there will be plenty for you as well. Not to spoil anything, but be careful where you walk and swim. So well done in their cinematography, and those aren't even the creepy-ass things that all women are going to have stuck in their heads long after. Also, don't miss the short scene after the credits, which is a setup for a sequel called "Pearl" which is already a thing, telling the backstory of the old woman. Judging by the fare last year gave, I am thinking this will be a top ten-of-the-year candidate, but we shall see.
- Stephen Guerrero28. Oktober 2025This film appears to leave off where the prequel left us, and the madness is still very fertile in this character's heart and mind. There is just enough true creepiness to have you wondering where this is going, even though the actions seen so far point to horrorific results. My face hurts from how big of a smile the ending of this film gave me, Delicious Fun.
- Kevin Ward1. Juli 2025This was a blast. Loved the gritty 70’s aesthetic, playing with aspect ratios, and the gruesome and bloody second half. Really loved Mia Goth and Brittany Snow as well as Jenna Ortega here. It’s surface level fun as a porny and horny horror slasher, but there’s definitely more going on under the skin. With commentary on sexuality and desire, age and beauty, it will be really interesting to see what the prequel Pearl has in store. I mean, c’mon. Pearl just wants a little death in her life, right? Really impressed by this. May have to check out more of Ti West’s work as I think this was my introduction to anything he’s directed.
