Perpetrator

DATE: Saturday, August 12
TIME: 3:00PM
VENUE: Savor Cinema Fort Lauderdale

Somewhere between camp and Cronenberg (both father and son) lies PERPETRATOR, a freakish horror film from Popcorn Frights alum Jennifer Reeder (KNIVES AND SKIN) — particularly if your taste includes sadistic masked murderers, plastic surgery victims, high-school cheerleaders turned robbers, and a birthday cake filled with cups of fresh hemoglobin. This, plus lots more gore and insanity are at the heart of this unsettling story about a teenager who gains supernatural abilities through a mystical transformation, just as girls from her new school go missing. With an unforgettable Alicia Silverstone playing a suburban auntie from hell, this coming-of-age high-school body-horror tale will get under your skin, but like the transgressive surrealism of David Lynch, inside of it lies a beating heart — quite literally, you will see — that yearns to express itself.
