 I always wanted to be famous. Actor Mia Goth is Maxine Minx, the title character. Her arc begins in the first movie, X, in the 1970s when she and her friends attempt to shoot a porn film. In Maxine, we fast forward it to the 1980s and she's hoping to make it big in Hollywood. But she also has a target on her back when it comes to creepy characters. In the first film, it was Pearl. Here, it's the serial killer known as the Night Stalker.
