Elizabeth Debicki, star of filmmaker Ti West’s “MaXXXine,” never saw herself in a horror movie, much less the highly anticipated conclusion to a slasher trilogy that began with 2022’s “Texas Chain Saw Massacre”-indebted “X.”
“Pearl” then came as a World War I-set prequel to “X,” and “MaXXXine” is its sequel in which the title character, played by Mia Goth, finds herself in 1985 Los Angeles on the verge of legitimate stardom while being stalked by a ruthless serial killer and the ghosts of her past.
“I’ve specifically avoided it for a while,” Debicki told TheWrap of the horror genre. But she was still drawn to “MaXXXine.”
