You Have Just 1 Evening to Watch This Psychological Thriller Starring Mia Goth on Netflix
Actually, you might even want to give a watch (or rewatch) to the entire trilogy.
Netflix keeps refreshing its vast collection of movies and shows every new month, but Netflix is also the one to remove them forever from their platform for we don’t know what reasons.
The streaming has already dropped a bunch of highly anticipated flicks in February, but is now set to say goodbye to a hit horror movie, and it’s happening just way too soon for you to delay this watch.
Starring Mia Goth, the film received universal acclaim back in 2022 and paved the way for a follow-up which hit theatres just last summer.
Pearl Is Leaving Netflix This Saturday
It might be pretty upsetting news for horror fans ahead of this weekend, but Ti West’s hit movie Pearl is officially leaving Netflix on February 15. The flick came as a prequel to a 2022 slasher X and was later followed by MaXXXine released in theatres in July of 2024.
Starring and written by Mia Goth, Pearl recounts the origin story of its title villain and dates back to the time when young Pearl, trapped by her abusive family on an isolated farm, dreams of a glamorous life just like the one she’s seen in the movies.

The character’s ambitions suddenly start moving in a wrong direction when she decides to find her path towards worldwide fame by choosing violence that horrifies her entire homestead back in 1918.
Pearl Was Just As Good As X
Released the same year as its predecessor, Pearl was a perfect follow-up to that year’s most acclaimed horror movie. On Rotten Tomatoes, the original film X holds 94% of positive reviews from critics, while Pearl is just a bit less impressive with a still great score of 93%.

Coming off the massive success of the trilogy’s first movie, Pearl was reasonably expected to perform well in the box office, which it eventually did after garnering around $10 million with the initial budget of $1 million.
Though the next instalment after Pearl, MaXXXine, wasn’t received that warmly by critics after all, the flick also joined its two predecessors by earning $22 million against the initial budget of less than $10 million.
Despite the other two movies not playing on Netflix, Pearl with its self-contained story can still be a solid watch tonight, in case you want to say goodbye to the movie on the streaming’s platform.
