Many people who watched the movie “X: The Mark of Death” have doubts about the true identity of this strange old woman, who together with her husband owns the farm and is one of the villains of the plot.
After all, who is this old woman?
The plot of ‘X: The Mark of Death’ takes place in 1979 and follows a pornographic film production team who rent an isolated farmhouse in Texas from an elderly couple. However, the youngsters hide the real intention behind their visit to the owners of the property. When guest inmates discover the visitors’ activities, the cast is forced to fight for their survival in the face of a dangerous situation.
In this film, Mia Goth plays two different roles: the protagonist Maxine, a young aspiring adult film star, and Pearl, the unknown elderly woman whose property the team rents as a location.
Exactly what you just read! The bizarre older woman is played by Mia Goth under extensive prosthetic makeup.
And if you noticed, it was mentioned above that the old woman’s name is Pearl. Exactly the same name that gives the title to the second film released in the “X: Pearl” trilogy. The young protagonist of the film “Pearl” is the mysterious old woman from the film “X: The Mark of Death” in her youth.
The film “Pearl” is, therefore, a prequel that tells the story of the origins of the villain present in the film “X: The Mark of Death”.
