Set in a post-apocalyptic world where a global airborne pandemic has wiped out 90% of the Earth's population and only the young and immune have endured as scavengers. For Ellie and Quinn, the daily challenges to stay alive are compounded when they become hunted by the merciless Stalkers.
Pearl is a 2022 American horror film directed, produced, and edited by Ti West, who co-wrote the screenplay with Mia Goth. It is the second installment in West's X film series and a prequel to X (2022). Goth reprises her role as the title character, with a supporting cast featuring David Corenswet, Tandi Wright, Matthew Sunderland, and Emma Jenkins-Purro. The film serves as an origin story for the titular villain, whose fervent aspiration to become a movie star clashes with her home life and violent tendencies, leading to violent acts on her family's Texas homestead in 1918.
