I randomly got back to my Room while on Vacation when this started playing on Showtime.
Like earlier trips where I watched Everything Everywhere All at Once and The Green Knight, I made time for a Film that came highly recommended.
This one is the Prequel to X, so maybe this makes up for not being able to do the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Prequel.
Either way, it is definitely better!

| This Fan Made Poster is so good! |
Pearl is a young woman who life has just decided to make suffer.
She runs a Farm with her Mother, since her Father is pretty much dead from the Spanish Flu.
She married a guy...who promptly enlisted in The Great War and left her.
Is it any wonder that she's a little bit crazy?
Okay, she's very crazy.
If you don't believe me, ask her Scarecrow!
Sadly, for her, he got brains and not, well, you know.
She sneaks off while doing an errand- getting her Dad's Medicine- and meets a guy.
He likes her and talks about going to Europe one day.
Can someone save Pearl? This looks like a job for Superman....Actor Michael Corenswet!
Can she get her life in balance...or will she just start killing people?
I guess praying couldn't hurt at this point!
Will Pearl achieve her dreams of fame & stardom?
Well, she will get to be in at least one other Movie- two if you count Maxxine.
Either way, it will all end in smiles for one person.
To find out who, watch the Film now.
A Film that is quite odd in its approach, but kind of works well.
The backstory- during the mandatory 2-week quarantine in New Zealand before the start of shooting on X, the Star and Director started thinking more about Pearl's backstory.
They quickly wrote up a Film and shot it right after X. Neat.
The idea of making an entire Film about the Movie's Villain is interesting. Making the whole thing about how wronged she's been by life and making you almost feel for her (the murders are a deal breaker) is something else entirely.
The Film moves at a slow and steady pace, definitely picking up once the carnage begins. It still finds time to slow down though, represented by Pearl's long monologue near the end.
It is something else.
Pearl is a pretty interesting Character Study that you know won't end well, on account of all of the murder that happen in X.
Even so, it is a pretty daring Film to make- whether you like it or not.
Bold filmmaking should be noted and rewarded. Too bad it will also creep you out for days on end!
