Episode 165 - Pearl (2022)

Welcome to the Horror Project Podcast. Join hosts Laura and Phil as they review Pearl (2022).

Pearl finds herself confined to a remote farm, caring for her sick father while under her mother's watchful eye. Yearning for the glamorous lifestyle she has admired in films, she grapples with her desires and the constraints of her reality. We discuss Pearl's aspirations to break free from her current existence, the connections this film has to the broader X trilogy, and the standout performance by Mia Goth.
