It's interesting too that the high price of fame has become such a potent theme in recent horrors: the X trilogy, for sure, but also Late Night with the Devil and the Exorcism both riff on that theme (see also: Rosemary's Baby).
I liked Maxxxine fine, and probably a little more than Girl Joker (Pearl). Pastiche is a weird genre- I guess this one succeeds because it really looks like an 80s movie (De Palma would have loved the twist ending) and never parodies itself.
