Perpetrator

If Judy Chicago directed a horror film (hey, it could happen), it would probably look like parts of Jennifer Reeder’s PERPETRATOR (2023, Shudder). Reeder is obsessed with blood in the film as a sign of womanhood and female power. Jonquil (Kiah McKirnan) is about to turn 18, so her father (Tim Hopper) ships her to a nearby town to live with her great aunt (a very good, tightly controlled Alicia Silverstone, who hardly looks old enough to be a great aunt, but that’s the point) as the young woman comes into her power. She comes from a long line of “mirrors,” female empaths who can reflect the thoughts, emotions, voices and sometimes even bodies of others. Each mirror has her own special version of the power, and McKirnan’s is not only particularly strong but also allows her blood to provide entry to a sacred female space. There’s one sequence in which she attends a party and unconsciously imitates the dancing of various guests. That’s a great metaphor for the way personality can develop from learned behaviors, but the film has a horror element as well, or it wouldn’t be on Shudder. High school girls have been disappearing from the town, and McKirnan starts sharing their thoughts and emotions. It’s a clever set-up, though the film suffers from a shift in styles. Early on, the action is fragmentary and elliptical, drawing on narrative and theatrical forms suggested by feminist critics to make women’s art mirror women’s experiences. But when Reeder needs to move the plot forward, she abandons that, and goes for more straightforward storytelling, which can be a bit jarring. She also changes the nature of McKirnan’s gift in a way that provides for a powerful metaphor at the end but violates the logic she’s set up. Reeder’s is a powerful cinematic vision, nonetheless, and that makes the film a lot more interesting than many more consistent, less imaginative pictures.

Been watching this show on Amazon called Night Sky. It's alright, not really blowing my mind or anything.

But I just wanted to take a screenshot of this character's pride flag headband. If this character is queer, they haven't mentioned or shown it yet, but it's definitely a look.
