Ti West's X contains an intriguing post-credits scene that sets up a prequel for the murderous antagonist Pearl set 61 years ago in a WW1 landscape.
Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Ti West's X .
Ti West's X contains an intriguing after-credits scene, but what is Pearl 's trailer and prequel story setup about? First released domestically on March 18th, 2022, Ti West's " erotic horror " X has opened to rave reviews from the horror community, with critics noting X 's desire to return to a well-trodden slasher formula that firmly acts as a poignant homage to classics such as John Carpenter's Halloween and Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre . Despite the finality of its ending, X 's immediate success has given rise to talk of a follow-up movie in the wake of Pearl (Mia Goth) and Howard's (Stephen Ure) murderous rampage.
The ending of X leaves only its final girl, Maxine (also played by Mia Goth), standing after a bloody closing act. Howard has his long-feared heart attack after his copulation with his wife before Maxine reverses over Pearl's head with RJ's (Owen Campbell) van in a brutal act of revenge. This leaves Maxine free to discover her heritage as the daughter of a prominent televangelist before she rides off into the night in time to avoid Sheriff Dentler (James Gaylyn) and the rest of his rural police force.
As a coda to all of this carnage, Ti West's X includes an intriguing after-credits scene that sets up a prequel movie for Pearl's character. This clip takes X audiences all the way back to 1918 ( X takes place in 1979), showing Pearl's tribulations as a young woman living amidst the backdrop of World War I. Here's X 's after-credits scene explained and how it sets up Ti West's Pearl prequel.
As aforementioned, X does include a short post-credits scene that acts as a teaser for Ti West's Pearl prequel. X 's post-credits scene adopts a different visual style in comparison to the main body of Ti West's film, using grainier, black and white cuts interchanged with colorful Technicolor-style shots to evoke a different time period.
X 's post-credits scene acts as a teaser for Ti West's upcoming prequel movie Pearl , which is set to follow X 's primary antagonist in her youth. Just four days before X 's domestic theatrical release, director Ti West stated (per LA Times ) that he had already written a prequel for his latest slasher movie titled Pearl . In the same interview, West outlines his intentions for Pearl , saying that the prequel will " will be a melodrama meets the Technicolor style of Mary Poppins... made as a demented Disney movie ." West goes on to say that the majority of Pearl has already been filmed in secret alongside X 's production schedule, with the X prequel in editing as of March 2022 and an orchestral score for the film currently in the works.
The Pearl trailer is jam-packed with details despite its short one-minute runtime, beginning by taking audiences back to the X movie's gory farmhouse in 1918. The teaser then promises to show Pearl's story " before X ," with shots of a young Pearl daydreaming amongst bales of hay and trying on clothing. The trailer then cuts to the real meat of its content, showing Pearl about to feed her incapacitated mother to an alligator (potentially even the same one from X 's story) before cutting to a series of clips with Pearl hacking and slashing at unknown objects and people. The Pearl trailer then ends with a montage of quick-fire black and white and color scenes interchanging, showing a man on fire, clips from World War I, a young Howard returning from the war, and a swaying field of corn with the ominous advertisement " coming soon " above it.
As a result, Pearl 's trailer teases several big storylines for the slasher character prequel already. The biggest of these is naturally Pearl's transition from a carefree young girl into psychopathy, with the Pearl trailer initially indicating Pearl is happy before a series of grotesque murders appear on-screen. Pearl 's first teaser trailer also gives X audiences insight into how Pearl and Howard came to own their farmhouse and property, with Pearl likely inheriting it after feeding her mother to the alligator in the farm lake. Finally, Pearl 's trailer confirms the prequel will go into detail on how Howard and Pearl met, as well as exploring the twisted relationship that led them to become the vicious killers that RJ and company unwittingly come up against in X .
Although X ends in finality for Pearl 's character as her head is squashed by a wheel, Ti West's movie subtly sets up several avenues for the Pearl prequel even prior to its announcement. The biggest of these is the reveal that Maxine is the daughter of a conservative Christian whose speeches frequently played on Pearl and Howard's TV, indicating the now-dead couple's links to a more religious world than X deigns to reveal across its runtime. In addition to Maxine's heritage setting up an origin narrative, there is also the fact that X contains ample nods to Pearl's youth which she hungers for once again - with West almost imploring audiences to wonder about Pearl and Howard's younger years and their descent into evil.
Given X 's immediate popularity upon release, talk of its now confirmed prequel is only set to intensify. At present, X is in the midst of a limited theatrical run, with Ti West's Pearl trailer likely to be held back as an Easter egg for committed X audiences until the end of this screening period. However, in light of West's comments that filming is already completed for Pearl , it makes sense for West to unveil the Pearl trailer for general perusal online sooner rather than later to add to the burgeoning hype around his " X trilogy ." Furthermore, Ti West's confirmation that Pearl entered post-production in March 2022 means there is a strong chance that audiences could see the X prequel in theatres before the end of the year. Pearl 's orchestral score is set to be completed by May 2022, which further points to a swift studio turnaround, meaning Pearl 's trailer from the ending of X is likely to see an imminent wider release.

We rank cinema’s best sex scenes, from steamy silent films to Hollywood’s lustiest comedies and beyond
When it comes to sex, the movie are currently going through a bit of a dry spell. It feels like it’s been a long while since we’ve seen a hot, steamy, taboo-shattering roll in the hay – or hot tub, or midsize sedan, or literal bay of hale – in a major studio film, at least not one that truly shocks the zeitgeist and gets audiences talking. Is it because of society’s general rightward shift recently? Or did filmmakers start listening to those misguided social media debates about the merits of the sex scene?
In any case, it’s far past time the movies got back to getting it on – and here are 101 examples why. Sure, in some cases, sex scenes can seem pointless. In the best examples of cinematic boffing, though, sex tells stories. It develops characters. Sometimes it’s a punchline, sometimes it’s terrifying. Sometimes, yes, it’s simply meant to arouse – but titillation has value, too.
Pour yourself some wine and slip into something a little more comfortable. Here are the 101 best sex scenes of all-time.

Director: Nicolas Roeg Bedfellows: Julie Christie, Donald Sutherland
The film Working with a Daphne du Maurier short story, Roeg gives us Laura (Christie) and John (Sutherland), a married couple who travel from Britain to Venice for his job after losing their young daughter in a drowning accident.
The sex scene It’s a simple predinner sex scene in a hotel room, but the way Roeg shoots and edits it, and the manner in which the actors perform it, makes it extremely powerful.
Why is it so groundbreaking? It just feels so real. It’s also a rare sex scene that chimes in perfect harmony with the film around it. Their sex feels like both an expression of grief and a welcome respite from it. Most of all, the actors just look like they know what they’re doing. No wonder they’ve been denying the sex was real ever since.
Director: Ingmar Bergman Bedfellows: Bibi Andersson, Liv Ullmann
The film After the catatonic breakdown of stage star Elisabet (Ullmann), she and nurse Alma (Andersson) enter into a fluid, mesmerizing power struggle, also a meeting of the minds.
The sex scene In a semidarkened room, Alma relates a tale of sex on the beach with her girlfriend and a pair of underage boys, an incident with dire consequences.
Why is it so groundbreaking? A classic sex scene with no actual sex in it? That's expert-level, folks. It helps to be Ingmar Bergman, the master director who could wring a heartbreaking monologue out of a shoe. Andersson's matter-of-fact relation of graphic acts makes the scene unbearably hot. The moment was often cut from prints by concerned censors. Famously, Roger Ebert wrote, ‘The imagery of this monologue is so powerful that I have heard people describe the scene as if they actually saw it in the film.’
Director: Ang Lee Tentfellows: Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal
The film Based on Annie Proulx’s story about the love affair between two cowboys, Ang Lee’s beautiful, swooning film starred Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger as range hands who fall in love.
The sex scene It gets mighty cold up there in the hills of Wyoming. After a night drinking whiskey, the ranchers huddle up for warmth, and then…
Why is it so groundbreaking? Ang Lee put gay sex in the mainstream. Conservatives accused the film of promoting a gay agenda, but don’t they always? Brokeback Mountain picked up three Oscars from eight nominations in 2006, but not Best Picture (which went to Crash ). Some critics, including Roger Ebert, believed homophobia factored in the voting.
Director: William Heise Bedfellows: May Irwin, John Rice
The film At just 18 seconds long, ‘The Kiss’ (sometimes known as ‘The May Irwin Kiss’) is one of the earliest films to be shown to the public. Directed by William Heise for Thomas Edison, it recreates a kiss from a popular musical of the time, The Widow Jones .
The sex scene To be honest, it’s barely a kiss; there’s definitely no tongues or bodily fluids exchanged as actor John Rice tweezes his moustache in preparation before he goes in for what is more of a peck.
Why is it so groundbreaking? Officially the first ever film to feature two people kissing, it caused an uproar, with one commentator writing that it was ‘beastly enough in life size on the stage, but magnified to gargantuan proportions and repeated three times over, it is absolutely disgusting.’ Sounds like a film critic to us.
Director: Nagisa Oshima Bedfellows: Tatsuya Fuji, Eiko Matsuda
The film Oshima’s 1976 masterpiece – the crown jewel of a career hell-bent on upsetting the establishment – recounts the true story of the all-consuming sexual obsession that blossomed between a hotel owner and his new employee in 1936 Tokyo.
The sex scene How do we pick just one? A marvel of escalation, In the Realm of the Senses is an almost constant stream of increasingly perverse sex acts. To isolate any moment from the maelstrom of deviant (and unsimulated) behavior would be arbitrary by default. Nevertheless, we’d argue the sequence that most pushes the boundaries occurs when Kichizo (Fuji) inserts a hard-boiled egg into the vagina of his new bride, Sada (Matsuda), in full view of the people serving them dinner. He then instructs Sada to squat like a hen and lay the egg on the floor before he eats it. In most films, the pain that Sada experiences would immediately classify the act as sexual assault, but In the Realm of the Senses renders our judgments irrelevant.
Why is it so groundbreaking? Even for generations raised on free Internet porn, the acts on display in Oshima’s movie are still taboo. In the Realm of the Senses was the first nonpornographic film to include blow jobs, and there’s a very graphic one prior to the scene of food insertion. But it’s only when you watch that egg disappear that you begin to comprehend the full extent of the film’s transgression.
Interrogation roomfellows: Sharon Stone, Michael Douglas, Newman from Seinfeld
The film It’s the erotic thriller that spawned countless pale imitators. Starring Sharon Stone as Catherine Tramell, a novelist suspected in a string of very sexy murders, and Michael Douglas as the cop desperate to get her in handcuffs… if you know what we mean.
The sex scene Brought in for questioning, Tramell gets a roomful of already sweaty cops even more hot and bothered by casually describing the deviant sex she used to have with her ex who’s recently been ice-picked to death. Then she uncrosses her legs, revealing that being a successful mystery writer doesn’t pay enough to afford her undergarments. Poor thing.
Why is it so groundbreaking? Basic Instinct contains several graphic, often violent depictions of actual intercourse, but nothing made ‘90s audiences gasp more than a fleeting shot of female genitalia. The moment was parodied endlessly, which took some of the scandal out of it - Seinfeld even recreated the scene with a profusely sweating Wayne Knight grilling Jerry about mail fraud. At the time, though, it was genuinely shocking to see a woman’s anatomy weaponized so salaciously. Stone later claimed Verhoeven misled her about the amount of skin that would make it to screen, but she’d get some measure of indirect revenge by participating in the awful sequel, which he had nothing to do with.
Director: Martin Scorsese Bedfellows: Willem Dafoe, Barbara Hershey
The film Bluntly adapting Nikos Kazantzakis’s novel of the same name, Scorsese’s most controversial film portrays the Son of God as a fallible man, liable to the vices and temptations with which all human beings must contend.
The sex scene While nailed to the cross, an angel appears to Jesus and leads him on a guided hallucination of the life he might have lead. That life includes Jesus fathering a child with Mary Magdalene, and it turns out that sex is the best way to do that. Sure, it’s all a dream, and thus rather theologically protected, but that didn’t stop people from losing their minds over it.
Why is it so groundbreaking? It’s Jesus Christ having sex. That’s not exactly what he’s known for.
Director: Frank Capra Not-quite-bedfellows: Claudette Colbert, Clark Gable
The film A slapstick comedy starring Claudette Colbert as a spoiled heiress running away to elope with the wrong guy. Clark Gable is the disgraced reporter she meets on the bus to New York City. Her plan changes.
The sex scene No sex here, just a tricky situation: Colbert and Gable are forced to spend the night together in a hotel room (pretending to be husband and wife) when their bus breaks down. Gable hangs a sheet between their twin beds for modesty’s sake.
Why is it so groundbreaking? Because sheet or no sheet, thi
