Mia Goth took center stage in Ti West's critically acclaimed horror movie.
The Big Picture Horror fans are currently living in the middle of murder-happy genre renaissance. Over the last number of years franchises like Halloween and Scream have returned in grand blood-soaked fashion, but we’ve also been treated to new genre icons. There’s no better example of that than Mia Goth’s Pearl who appeared in two slash-tastic horror films in 2022 directed by Ti West. One of those being the character's self-titled prequel Pearl.
Just like in the film, this ill-fated piggy is rotting to its core with maggots all over it. Even more sadistic, the pig is branded with the film’s logo. While Pearl was one of the most psychologically disturbing films to come along in a very long time, the simple image of that pig is arguably its most nauseating. As horror fans know by now, Pearl dreamed of becoming a star, but as the film went on, watching her coming to grips with her crashing “American dream” was so deeply tragic.
This Technicolor Wizard of Oz inspired nightmare imploded Pearl's demented sense of "reality". Her dreams died with that pig. The film would cut back to it just baking in the sun on Pearl’s front porch and, every time we saw it, the pig got more and more disgusting. Pearl harkened back to a simpler time in the genre where a thick atmosphere topped all other priorities.
'Pearl’s Legacy The character of Pearl, with X and her prequel, has reached legendary status thanks to West and Goth’s brilliant partnership. The pair's commitment to making a psychologically challenging performance has been unmatched and the way the horror community has embraced the character hasn't been seen since the 80s with Freddy Krueger. Goth should have been nominated for an Oscar, but that’s a tale as old as time.
If you’re brave enough to put your life savings in this piggy bank, you can pre-order it on A24’s website. It’ll ship the week of October 20, just in time for Pearl to crave up Halloween. West and Goth’s X trilogy is set to end with MaXXXine releasing sometime in the near future. Check out the suckling Piggy Bank below:
