Jennifer Reeder’s ‘Perpetrator’ proves to be a striking and bizarre high-school body-horror movie for the ‘Bones and All’ generation. Read the full review here:
'BlackBerry' Berlin Film Festival Review: A Biopic Of A Smartphone Turns Out To Be As Triumphant And Tragic As 'Elvis'
Staying with Hildie, Jonny enrols in then local high school, where she is grilled by the barking-mad nurse who asks, among other things, if she is sexually active.
In that way, it’s quite a rickety ride until the big reveal; Jonny’s blood seems to have a life of its own, and, in a sign of things to come, her father’s face flickers and morphs in the bathroom mirror. It all comes to a head on Jonny’s 18th birthday when Hildie’s special home-baked treat causes havoc in the home .
There follows an amazingly convoluted piece of exposition in which Hildie reveals that Jonny is gifted with “profound spectral empathy”. Would you like to know more? “We are proxies,” says Hildie. “Surrogates. Mimics. Mirrors. We turn, we fake, we follow, we bend, we shift, we shape. We tune way in.
This revelation takes us back into more familiar stalk-and-slash territory as Jonny puts herself on the line to draw out the killer, but instead of ramping up, Reeder’s film seems to quietly dissemble, introducing a surprise character that undermines the great unmasking .boasts the kind of crazed auteurship that could make for a great midnight movie, using music as an assault weapon that pays off with a Lynchian needle-drop right at the end.
