Ti West's MaXXXine is the concluding installment in the X trilogy, delving into the life of adult film star Maxine Minx (Mia Goth) as she navigates the seedy underbelly of Hollywood in 1985. The film intertwines a sinister subplot inspired by the real-life serial killer Richard Ramirez, known as the Night Stalker, who terrorized California from 1984 to 1985. While MaXXXine is a work of fiction, it draws upon Ramirez's chilling case to add a layer of authenticity. Richard Ramirez's reign of terror, characterized by random attacks on a wide range of victims, culminated in his capture in 1985 through a combination of evidence and vigilant community members. Ramirez's chilling motives, influenced by the societal fears of the time, remain unclear to this day. Despite his death in 2013, Ramirez's legacy continues to be explored in films and documentaries, shedding light on the dark chapter of the Night Stalker's atrocities.
