The Menu is One of My Horror Movie Obsessions

  Credit to Robert Mitchell Evans  You know how we all have our own horror movies that we love to watch over and over? Horror movies that we never get tired of watching? For me, one of these films is The Menu. The Menu is one of the best horror films I have watched in years. Once I heard about the title, I immediately assumed it was going to be a cannibal kind of movie. I was completely wrong and surprised with what the film was really about.  The film follows a woman named Margo, who is attending a food party of sorts, that consists of elite people trying out a well thought out menu by a famous chef. What starts off as an innocent tasting food event, turns into a complete nightmare during the second act of the film.  Margo and the other guests find themselves trapped by the chef and his employees, determined to force them to stay and think about their evil wrongdoings they have committed their whole lives. Of course, the chef continues to serve them his menu, making sure that everyone

Maxxxine is a Wonderful Horror Conclusion to the X Franchise by Ti West

Yesterday evening, I watched Maxxxine, the last film to complete the trilogy of X. I was thoroughly surprised by the finale! Ti West did not hold back on the conclusion! The gore remained excellent, the story was fantastic, Mia Goth and the other actors present in the film did a great job with their parts in the film, and then the insane twist was executed perfectly!

Warning: Spoilers below!

Maxxxine finds herself being hunted down once again by evil, as a mysterious man dressed all in black murders people that Maxine cares about to lure her to him. Maxine desperately tries to avoid this confrontation, as she desires to become a movie star, and no longer cares to put herself in a horrible situation, due to her trauma from what she went through in X. 

She realizes that these murders must stop, and she decides to confront whoever is coming after her. 

The twist of the film comes into play, and I was really surprised who was the main villain!

Huge spoiler, if you want to turn back!

The one person that Maxine was able to fully escape from to start a new life. 

Her father. 

This twist threw me off guard, and just like Maxine; I was stunned. 

She gets captured by her father, but luckily; she is saved by two detectives that believed she was connected to the murders. During an entire blood bath, Maxine barely escapes alive; going after her father. Unfortunately for the two detectives, they are both killed by her father until she reaches him. 

While confronting her father, Maxine is stopped by a helicopter, warning her to put down the gun. Maxine envisions herself becoming a movie star, being embraced by all her fans. Then she is back to reality, and chooses to murder her father. 

A month passes, and Maxine is now filming her first role in a horror movie. She appears happy with her new life, as she watches her fake molded head being used for a horror scene in the movie.

This ending was perfect. 

Ti West definitely saved the best film for last. The 80s aesthetic was incredible, and I had a lot of fun with the 80s soundtrack. Watching Maxine embark on a new horror journey to take down the new evil was great to watch. Mia Goth truly did an amazing job playing the character!

Maxine is the right amount of crazy, and she 100% deserved to begin her new life as a Hollywood star!
