MaXXXine movie soundtrack: Every song in the slasher thriller
By Sandy C.
Our favorite STAR will take over the big screen on July 5! That’s right, Mia Goth returns as Maxine in theaters on Friday, July 5, in the slasher-thriller MaXXXine. I loved everything about this movie and can’t wait for you all to check it out! And, of course, part of what makes the film so great, is the soundtrack. After all, this wouldn’t be an A24 or Ti West production if it didn’t feature a killer soundtrack!
MaXXXine is the third movie in the X franchise from A24 and Ti West. This time, we see Maxine chasing fame in Hollywood. The story is set in the 1980s, and becoming famous is not the only thing Maxine has to worry about, there’s also someone out to kill her known as the Night Stalker. The movie stars Mia Goth, Elizabeth Debicki, Giancarlo Esposito, Kevin Bacon, Lily Collins, Halsey, and others.
