I Can't Stand the Horror Trope of Slashers that Can 'Teleport'

  Credit to  Teleportation Vector Images | Depositphotos There is one horror trope that always bothers me when it comes to several horror movies.  How the hell can a slasher be in two places at once? What I mean by that is…why do horror directors sometimes ignore how a human can move? I’ve seen several horror movies that were really great, but were ruined by a killer who was able to teleport.  That doesn’t make any sense.  Unless time travel is involved, then go for it, but a human killer can’t teleport! Where does this sudden supernatural ability come from? It’s just so…stupid. So, like, does the mask or the outfit give the killer powers or what? This is a random side rant, but I felt the need to talk about this. I recently remembered a horror movie where the killer was able to be at two places at once, while he was going after two people.  Like he somehow was able to travel across the entire city in seconds to catch up to the other victim. How??? Not even science can explain this!!!

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!
