Timeline wise yeah, this takes place 6 years after X, set in 1985. Pearl is a prequel filling in the backstory of the woman and man who owned the farm in X.
Excellent news. The X / Pearl double bill was one of the best things to come out of horror in recent years. Ti West really knows what he's doing and he's clearly got an amazing chemistry with Mia Goth.
I thought X was a subpar slasher with a lazy 70’s filter. People overrate it because the hornyness of it. I found the whole thing to be mean spirited with a couple fun scenes. Maybe I’ll watch pearl I hear it’s better.
I wish this was the conclusion of the XXX franchise and the agent this time was this browless zoomer who would not care to do anything since the world is beyond saving anyway.
