He does what one would least expect, when one would least expect it. He contrives that one's attention shall be turned another way, and then he strikes.

Red Army Faction member arrested in Germany after decades on the run

A former member of the left-wing militant group Red Army Faction has been arrested after more than 30 years on the run, German authorities said on Tuesday.

The Bild newspaper, citing unnamed security sources, reported that 65-year-old Daniela Klette was arrested in Berlin on Monday night.

Klette is one of three former members of the Red Army Faction who have been wanted by police for several years. Klette, Ernst-Volker Staub and Burkhard Garweg were involved in at least 12 robberies in northern Germany between 1999 and 2016. They were also wanted for attempted murder. Authorities speculate that the motive behind the robberies was money rather than any political considerations.

I meant to watch Knives and Skin by Jennifer Reeder but got the titles mixed up and watched the latest one: Perpetrator 2023 instead.

Great fun, campy, slightly giallo (but without the sexism) female led horror. There's a wackiness I enjoy in some of the ShudderTM stuff I've seen so far that revels in being a little off kilter, a little B-movie-esque that can make the subject matter work so much better than a straight serious tone with a serious lore.

I just love that they swung for the fences and made this creepy story in an odd world. I like that they made a female horror movie that's about an 18-year-old girl who might not be fully sane with the secondary plot an all out old school evil villain and not something more grounded like the horrors of being a woman or have some clunky message underneath.

It was just FUN: creepy gross out escapism with some cool female characters (& the main character gets some great clothes and hair design). And in a way that's part of the representation I've always wanted: non-"elevated" action, horror and sci-fi stories without worrying if it's going to be full of sexualized violence and gratuitous ogling.

Of course, you could do a deep read about the monstrous feminine and shared trauma and bonding etc etc because we always can and I hope this one will end up in the canon like Gingersnaps, Jennifer's body or Jawbreaker: no it's not groundbreaking; but the girlies need unserious movies too.

8/10: The CGI effect is rough, the film takes a while to set the tone, easter eggs and jokes may seem clichéd or hokey and take you out of the action if you wanted big scares. Higher score because it's got that rewatchable quality.
