10 Upcoming Movie Twists Everyone's (Probably) Already Guessed
9. Maxine Is The Night Stalker - MaXXXine
The third and apparently concluding entry into Ti West's Mia Goth-starring X franchise - preceded by X and Pearl - takes place in 1985, as Maxine Minx (Mia Goth) arrives in Los Angeles and continues to pursue her acting career.
The first trailer for the movie reveals that MaXXXine will incorporate some unforgettable period history, namely the presence of the Night Stalker - a real-life serial killer who murdered at least 13 people in the mid-1980s.
And this injection of real-world horror into a fictional genre film has some fans wondering whether West might be about to pull a Tarantino and give us a twistedly revisionist take on the Night Stalker's rampage.
Namely, it might well turn out that the real Night Stalker is none other than Maxine Minx herself.
Whether she colludes with the real-life killer, Richard Ramirez, or frames him altogether remains to be seen, but it'd certainly be one hell of a ballsy way to play fast-and-loose with that which we know to be true, and feel thematically informed by the events of the two prior movies.
Then again, perhaps West will simply have Maxine be the one to thwart the Night Stalker's rampage, ensuring her fame in an altogether unexpected way.
