The Bette Davis quote shown at the beginning of the film is misquoted
Synopsis
In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past in Pearl (2022).. It is actually "Until you're known in my profession as a monster, you're not a star.".
Edited from X (2022)
Maxine Minx: Do you know what happened to the last person who tried to kill me? I crushed her fucking head.. Fitting with the film's 80s aesthetic, after the credits, a "Be kind rewind" sticker is shown, like on many video store rentals..
This is the movie I was the most excited about out of three
Gimme All Your LoveWritten by Frank Beard (as Frank Lee Beard), Billy Gibbons & Dusty Hill (as Joe Michael Hill)Performed by ZZ TopCourtesy of Warner RecordsBy arrangement with Warner Music Group Film & TV Licensing. I am a bit sad it was a bit underwhelming.It is certainly the weakest of the 3. I watched it with my family and we all agreed.It's just not a compelling story, what exactly is the point?
This looks like it was shot on actual film
The character development is also extremely shallow, I wasn't really rooting for anyone Bates Motel and the House from Psycho. It is grainy, vibrant, colorful, lots of contrast, the camera work was great. I just love when a film looks like a film and not an amazon ad.

The tone was also a mess, it's a bit of a thriller, a bit of a drama, and just a tiny bit of a horror.Sadly, the story just falls short, it just wasn't the grand epic finale I was expecting.. Take a peek at what movies and TV shows are coming to streaming this month.
