The Big Picture Horror movies lend themselves to sequels perhaps more consistently than pictures of any other genre, to the point it's almost a given any time a genre entry catches fire. The longest-running horror series are generally notable for how inconsistent they are, though—at least most of the time. From the jump with 2022's X, Ti West clearly aimed to shake up the slasher sub-genre to an extent that hadn't really even been attempted since Kevin Williamson wrote Scream.
For all that's been said, rightfully, about Mia Goth's extraordinary, career-making performance throughout the series, Elizabeth Debicki steals every scene she's in here, as icy, cutthroat studio director Liz Bender . She's always in sharp angles, she kind of is a sharp angle, and she is an effective red herring.
The period detail of Pearl is about as immersive as you'd expect from, say, The Crown, and the small cast of well-drawn supporting characters are of great value. Tandi Wright plays Pearl's rigid, complicated and not fully unloving mother, and pre-Superman David Corenswet is well cast as Pearl's handsome, naive admirer. The climax of Pearl isn't any kind of action; it's a now-infamous long take of Pearl in close-up, for eight minutes, spilling her guts to sister-in-law Mitsy .
