Up next from Jennifer Reeder (V/H/S/94, Night’s End, Knives Out) is the horror movie Perpetrator, which follows Jonny (Kiah McKirnan), an impulsive teenage girl living in a town where young women continue to go missing, and revolves around the power she’s forced to unlock to survive.
Bloody Disgusting has a first look at McKirnan in the film as well as Alicia Silverstone (Clueless, The Lodge, The Requin), who star alongside Christopher Lowell (My Best Friend’s Exorcism), Melanie Liburd (The Idol), and Ireon Roach (Candyman)
“The filmmakers say that the film is inspired by the shared experience of generations of women, as well as an exploration of youthful chaos,” explained Variety when they broke the news on the film, which was acquired by Shudder late last year.
“This is a significant moment for women working in genre films,” said Reeder. “Women are very well suited for horror in particular — we have a personal relationship to fear from a very young age, and are able to bleed for days and not die. This film in particular takes on the myth of the out-of-control teen girl — the wild child.
“In this story, she has agency in her lawlessness and embraces her abject nature. Perpetrator is dark but feminine, a nuanced noir, a grrrl power take on modern horror.”
Release news as it comes in.
