The core of the film's horror lies in the "psycho-biddy" subgenre, focusing on the grotesque and violent impulses born from the fear of fading relevance. Mia Goth delivers a standout dual performance, playing both the young, "X-factor" seeking Maxine and the elderly, murderous Pearl. This duality serves as a haunting mirror; Pearl’s violence is fueled by a tragic longing for the youth and beauty she sees in Maxine. Critics have noted that while the film indulges in brutal slasher tropes, it remains a sympathetic, albeit "fucked up," look at the "horror of your body betraying you". Cinematic Influences and Style
