Bradshaw, Peter (September 3, 2022). "Pearl review – Mia Goth and Ti West scare up a storm in extraordinary pandemic horror". The Guardian. Archived from the original on September 3, 2022 . Retrieved September 3, 2022. With its lush, sumptuously sweeping score, saturated Technicolor photography and kitsch wipe edits, Ti West’s Pearl would be a dead ringer for a 1940s melodrama were it not for all the axe violence and hayfork skewering. A prequel to West’s previous picture, X, it was co-written with star Mia Goth during a Covid quarantine period. The result of this meeting of twisted minds is a gloriously demented homage to old Hollywood. West combines witty cine-literacy with a flair for explosive bursts of deranged bloodshed. Just call him Douglas Sirk-opath. From award-winning filmmaker Samuel Gonzalez Jr. ( The Retaliators) and the producers of The Gallows, Night of the Missing is a four-part holiday anthology that could best be described as a twisted take on “A Christmas Carol.”a b c d Curto, Justin (March 14, 2021).
