An iconic psychological thriller starring Mia Goth will be added to Netflix this August. Pearl, directed by Ti West, is among the top-rated horrors on Rotten Tomatoes and was even praised by legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese. Released in 2022, it serves as the prequel to mystery-horror X.
Goth stars as the titular character, a young woman who is trapped on an isolated farm in Texas. Tending to her ailing father under her mother's watchful eye, she begins to fantasise about the glamorous lives she's seen in films. Convinced she shares same destiny as movie stars, Pearl's temptations and repressions collide - and a descent into madness ensues.
David Corenswet, Tandi Wright, Matthew Sunderland, and Emma Jenkins-Purro also star in the 2022 hit.
