      Hugo S "Perpetrator" is a body horror movie focused on a teen girl gifted with mystic powers. When several girls go missing at school, the girl decides to embark on the dangerous quest of uncovering the truth behind these mysterious disappearances. An experimental and weird movie portraying some of the social issues faced by women, especially the obsession with eternal youth. Amazing performance from Alicia Silverstone! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/13/24 Full Review Sevin D Worst movie EVER. Boring and slow with no flow. Total incomprehensible garbage. 100 minutes wasted...Ugh Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/24 Full Review Loa L Everything about this movie eccentric - especially characters - for eccentric's sake. This serial abductor/killer drama is too much wrapped around idea of a girl having magical empathy ability to the point where it doesn't make much symbiotic correlation between the two. As a result, point(s) of the movie feel(s) blurred and unspecified enough. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/29/23 Full Review Jess E Just laughable at how bad it is 🤣🤣🤣 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/27/23 Full Review Sean R Dear filmmakers, your pretty, self-aware film does not excuse you providing some semblance of a serviceable story. Get over yourself. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/23 Full Review A H Surprisingly decent movie...It starts out kinda slow and it's a VERY strange plot/movie. There's points in the movie where you're just like WTF am I watching and how are they even pulling this off? The story all came together at the end. I had a suspicion about how it would go and I was kinda correct. This movie can be best described as Unique. Definitely worth watching all the way through......

      Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Jonny’s refusal to become anyone’s victim makes the themes brought up in this genre-defiant film a cut above the rest. Rated: 3/4 Sep 7, 2023 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times This is the kind of movie where, at any moment, the editor might throw in an insert shot of an oozing orifice, keeping viewers on their toes. Sep 5, 2023 Full Review Monica Castillo RogerEbert.com It’s not always clear what the movie is trying to say, but even its misfires are more interesting than most because of what Reeder and her stars bring to their characters. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 1, 2023 Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) Although not as formally adventurous as Knives and Skin, with Perpetrator, just like that film Reeder’s singular voice comes through. Feb 13, 2024 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Never runs out of energy. Rated: B- Jan 13, 2024 Full Review Savina Petkova A Good Movie To Watch In addition to its bloodbaths and body horror, Perpetrator is a sharp critique of female-targeted violence and an ode to kinship Rated: 8.1 Oct 29, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
