Growing up is tough. Perhaps it's a bit trickier if you're a descendant of witches. But on a universal level, turning the age 18 is a big milestone, and for the rebellious teen at the center of writer-director Jennifer Reeder's new film Perpetrator, the big birthday comes with more than just well wishes. The end result is a blood-soaked psychological thriller that's sometimes a slow burn but still weaves in some occasional dark humor; the absurd society that serves as the film's setting will surely come off as satirical.
