== 剧情 ==
1918年流感大流行时，珍珠是一名与她移民自德国的双亲同住于德州农场的年轻女子，而她的丈夫霍华德（Howard）则前往第一次世界大战服役。 珍珠的父亲因身体虚弱而瘫痪，而母亲露丝（Ruth）则控制欲极强，坚持要她负责照料父亲与农场事务。向往兴奋生活的珍珠在当地剧院观赏电影后企图成为合唱团歌手，而此事不受露丝待见。然而，珍珠开始出现精神异常的症候，譬如她杀死农场中的动物并虐待她的父亲。
珍珠在电影院遇见了一名对她有好感的放映员，在她汽车返家时，珍珠停在一片玉米田旁并一边妄想著放映员并一边与稻草人跳舞，随后用稻草人来自慰。在母亲发现她给珍珠跑腿的8分钱不见后，珍珠遭其责骂并被禁止吃晚餐。
珍珠家境富裕的嫂子蜜姬（Mitsy）告诉她有个巡回剧团将会举办舞者的试镜，珍珠将此作为让她摆脱自己所处环境的手段。她随后趁夜溜出房子并拜访放映员，其给她观赏了他在法国获得的限制级电影《搭便车（A Free Ride）》。放映员鼓励珍珠追求梦想，珍珠则说她不能抛弃家庭，并说她希望「他们都死掉」。
当露丝发现珍珠从电影院带回的胶卷后，两人在晚餐时爆发激烈冲突并开始扭打。期间珍珠将露丝推向壁炉，点燃了她的裙子而造成露丝遭受到危及生命的严重灼伤。珍珠将露丝拖入地下室后将父亲留在厨房，自己逃去电影院并与放映员发生关系。
隔天一早，放映员将珍珠开车载回农场，让她能准备抢镜，他在看到蜜姬母亲所赠予露丝，现在腐烂生蛆的烤乳猪以及珍珠前后不一的供词后心生不安。他企图离开农场时，因认为被他抛弃而陷入暴怒的珍珠抡起干草叉将其杀害后将他的车连同尸体一起推入湖中，让小名希妲（Theda）的鳄鱼吞食掉他的遗骸。珍珠穿上露丝的礼服，为父亲打扮后将其闷死。
珍珠来到试镜现场的教会并跳舞表演，认为会获得评审青睐，但在因为她不年轻、并非金发又不是「典型美国人（All American）」而惨遭拒绝，因而崩溃。蜜姬来到珍珠家陪伴她试图安抚，在厨房中，珍珠做出一长串自白，说出自己对霍华德的厌恶，认为他出身优渥却认为夫妻两必须待在农场过活，而她自承她流产了两人的骨肉后感到松了一口气。她随后自白了自己孤立无援又无安全感的感受、她在农场杀死动物时获得的快乐、以及她杀害双亲与放映员之事。珍珠随后操弄吓呆的蜜姬，让她说出自己赢得了试镜，嫉妒的珍珠手持斧头追杀蜜姬，最终杀害了她。
珍珠将蜜姬分尸后将尸块喂给希妲，之后与已死的露丝在地下室躺在一起。在认定母亲所讲的一切都是正确的之后，珍珠决定要「将自己拥有的妥善利用」，试图在霍华德役毕返家后为他整理一个舒适的家来纠正过错。隔天一早，霍华德返家，并在厨房看到了饭桌上坐著珍珠死亡多时的双亲遗体以及腐烂的烤乳猪，珍珠随后向他问安，并露出了持久而痛苦的笑容。

=== 开发 ===
Ti West began writing a script for the prequel film during production on X. He stated that the prequel project had developed from a story he had collaborated on with Mia Goth, and that he had seen it either as becoming a potential film, or simply serving as a backstory for Goth's role as Pearl in the first movie. After the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, seeing its impact on the cinema industry, West stated that he had been inspired to continue working and had decided to begin production of the prequel immediately after wrapping on the previous installment. West stated that he had pitched his idea of a new franchise to A24 and had been surprised when they green-lit his projects. The filmmaker stated that he intends each film to have its own distinct style and genre of horror. Describing his approach to X, he said he was heavily influenced by The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise and by the works of Mario Bava, which explore how the rise of independent filmmaking affected society. Regarding Pearl, he described it as Douglas Sirk melodrama meeting the Technicolor style of Mary Poppins and The Wizard of Oz, made as a "demented Disney movie", and said it will explore how Hollywood filmmaking has influenced people. West stated that he intends to continue this trend of exploring diverse styles and genres in future installments. The movie is a joint-venture production between A24 and Little Lamb Productions.
With the release of the first publicity poster, it was announced that West would once again serve as film editor alongside his other production roles, that Eliot Rockett would return as cinematographer, and that Tyler Bates and Tim Williams would serve as co-composers of the film's score.
=== 选角 ===
Mia Goth reprises her role as a younger version of Pearl, the elderly woman from the first film. In July 2022, it was revealed that David Corenswet, Tandi Wright, Matthew Sunderland, and Emma Jenkins-Purro will feature as the supporting cast.
=== 摄影 ===
Principal photography was revealed to have begun in secret immediately following the completed photography on X. Filming started in New Zealand, took place back-to-back with the first movie and used the same sets that were built for X. West worked with the production crew of Avatar: The Way of Water, who were taking a break from production on that film at the time. West stated that, despite the production taking place during the COVID-19 pandemic, the production crew had already completed their required period of self-isolation, and were therefore able to work safely and efficiently together during the pandemic. He said: "I came out of quarantine and I was like, 'We're already building all of this stuff, it's COVID and we're on the one place on Earth where it's safe to make a movie.'"
=== 后期制作 ===
In March 2022, having completed filming, West announced that he was currently working on editing the movie, that he would go to Nashville, Tennessee, following the March 2022 SXSW Film Festival, to record the orchestral score for the soundtrack with Tyler Bates and Timothy Williams, and that the film was expected to be finished in May.
== 市场营销 ==
A teaser trailer was screened at the SXSW Film Festival, following screening of the first film. The footage accompanied the theatrical release of X. In July 2022, the first trailer was released with the marketing tagline of "an X-traordinary Origin Story", referring to the previous installment.
== 上映 ==
这部电影于2022年9月3日在第79届威尼斯电影节上首映，2022年9月16日在美国院线上映。
2022年10月25日在视频点播平台上线。 2022年11月15日发行蓝光和DVD版本。

=== 票房 ===
在美国和加拿大，这部电影与《达荷美女战士》和《看他们如何逃之夭夭》两部电影同期上映，这部电影在上映后的首个周末在约2900家电影院取得约400万美元的票房收入。 这部电影上映首日票房为130万美元，首映票房收入达到310万美元，票房排名第三。 在上映的第二个周末的票房收入为192万美元，票房排名第五。
=== 评价 ===
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 91% based on 158 reviews, with an average rating of 7.7/10. The site's consensus states: "Pearl finds Ti West squeezing fresh gore out of the world he created with X – and once again benefiting from a brilliant Mia Goth performance." On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 73 out of 100 based on reviews from 31 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B–" on an A+ to F scale, while those at PostTrak gave the film a 75% overall positive score, with 54% saying they would definitely recommend it.
Reviewing the film following its Venice Film Festival premiere, Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian praised West's direction and Goth's "grandiose performance", assigning it a perfect rating of five stars and remarking: "Perhaps I shouldn't have enjoyed Pearl as much as I did: but it's clever, limber, gruesome and brutally well acted. A gem." In his review for The Hollywood Reporter, David Rooney described it as a "cleverly packaged pandemic production with narrative echoes of that global anxiety", praising the screenplay, cinematography, score, and Goth's performance—which she compares to that of American actress Shelley Duvall. In a year-end retrospective for Daily Grindhouse, Preston Fassel named the film as the best horror movie of 2022 as well as "the best film of the year, period, and a bona fide cinematic classic that deserves Criterion status ASAP." In a negative review, Ewan Gleadow of Cult Following wrote that while West "doubles down on what made X such a chilling feature and consolidates what he is good at", the film ultimately "feels like a weak parody of the MGM days of The Wizard of Oz."
Filmmaker Martin Scorsese was reportedly very impressed by the film, calling it "mesmerizing" and stating that it was "powered by a pure, undiluted love for cinema". The New York Times named the character of Pearl one of the 93 most stylish "people" of 2022, highlighting her "her blood red dress, lacy blue bow, smudged makeup, boots … and ax".
