REVIEW:
This is another chapter from the twisted world of X... and it's quite the follow up. On a seemingly quaint country farm, during the Spanish flu epidemic, a young girl dreams of bigger things while being stuck in her hometown caring for her ill father living under the rule of her strict German mother. Pearl is artfully the intersection of temptation and repression - with some murderous consequences and quite the ending.
I love the purposeful cinematography, the unique thematic vibrancy of Technicolor and the immersive performances in this thoroughly well-made slasher/thriller flick.
Definitely one I’ll watch again.
