Jessica Kiang Syrupy red blood oozing between champing white teeth: If there’s a signature image in Jennifer Reeder’s “Perpetrator,” that might just be it. It’s a striking horror motif but, jumbled in amongst so many other striking horror motifs — nose splints and tattered school uniforms, bloodied fishnet stockings and features-blurring plastic facemasks — by the third or fourth repetition, it loses its visceral punch. As with so much else in Reeder’s overstuffed but underpowered third feature, the oral hemorrhaging is a fetishized detail that seems to have come unstuck from what it might mean. Is it vampirism? Lycanthropy? Psychokinesis? Acute gingivitis? Who’s to say, and, more to the point, why to care?
Streetsmart Jonny (Kiah McKiernan) is a wild child, all right, but a pretty responsible one. When we first meet her, she’s picking a lock in order to carry out a burglary, but the wad of cash she gets from fencing the stolen goods goes straight to her father to cover the rent. Still, despite her usefulness, and perhaps because of the strange ailment he suffers from that occasionally makes his face dissolve into pixellated putty in the bathroom mirror, Dad sends Jonny away to live with her wealthy, frosty maternal aunt Hildie (Alicia Silverstone). After a few sneering, cryptic exchanges between the mulish Jonny and the evasive Hildie, including an 18th birthday celebration that doubles as a ritual to summon the young woman’s ill-defined latent paranormal powers, Jonny enrolls in her new school.
There she discovers, amid clique politics and active shooter drills run as pass/fail tests (“My parents are going to slaughter me for getting killed,” sighs one unlucky schoolgirl), that something very seedy is going on

Michael B. Jordan is not the kid he was in high school!

Michael B. Jordan has come a long way since his high school days, but the actor was recently reminded of his past when he reunited with a fellow student who used to bully him.
pic.twitter.com/kP6crTsKllThe tension between the two stems from Lore'l 2021 comments about the actor on the "Undressing Room." In the two-year-old interview, the host of the "Undressing Room," not Lore'l, called the actor "a nice corny guy." Lore'l, however, continued with the topic and admitted to often "making fun" of Michael in high school."We teased him all the damn time because his name was Michael Jordan. Let's start there, and he was no Michael Jordan," she said, referring to the NBA player.
Zack Sharf Michael B. Jordan came face to face with one of his high school bullies during a recent “Creed III” premiere event. “The Morning Hustle” radio show host Lore’l revealed on a recent episode of her “Undressing Room” podcast that she attended high school with Jordan and was one of many students who teased the then-aspiring actor for his name. “You know what’s so crazy? I went to school with Michael B. Jordan at a point in life,” Lore’l said on the podcast (via NME). “And to be honest with you, we teased him all the damn time because his name was Michael Jordan. Let’s start there, and he was no Michael Jordan.” “He also would come to school with a headshot,” she added. “We lived in Newark, that’s the hood. We would make fun of him like, ‘What you gonna do with your stupid headshot!?’ And now look at him!”

The films of Jennifer Reeder have an unmistakable vibe. Her acclaimed short films, including “All Small Bodies” and “Crystal Lake,” have been shown on The Criterion Channel, and her feature film “Knives and Skin” has been shown at Berlin and Tribeca. READ MORE: ‘Inside’ Review: Vasilis Katsoupis’ Heist Thriller With Willem Dafoe Is Formulaic Yet Never Dull [Berlin] Reeder’s films, which have been described as the meeting point between David Lynch and John Hughes, share little in terms of plot, but all bear an unmistakable eeriness, an otherworldliness that could only be Reeder.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Adonis Creed, like Rocky Balboa before him, is a fighter who faces down his demons and finds his triumph-of-the-human-spirit mojo, all leading up to his inevitable delivery of that knockout punch (well, okay, Rocky actually lost the fight in “Rocky”). The first two “Creed” films, like the six “Rocky” films, were rah-rah crowd-pleasers, with the hero taking on an adversary who represents the forces of darkness. The boxing foes in these movies are a little like comic-book supervillains: Clubber Lang, Ivan Drago, Drago’s vengeful son, and so on. They’ve been catchy and, at times, memorable characters, but it’s part of their appeal that they’re two-dimensional raging-bull enemies you would hardly rank as layered human beings.

Even in the horror world there’s never been much love for torture porn, and with the possible exception of Canada’s Soska sisters, few female directors have been inclined to try to reclaim it. Jennifer Reeder’s Perpetrator begins with all the icky tropes of the genre—the blood-spattered credit sequence literally looks like the intro to a particularly grisly episode of CSI—and for a time it looks like it’s really going to go there. Instead, it proves to be something much more striking and bizarre, a high-school body-horror movie for the gender-fluid Bones and All generation.
Christopher Vourlias “Perpetrator,” director Jennifer Reeder’s provocative new horror noir that she describes as a “celebration of the girl gone wild,” world premieres Feb. 17 in the Panorama section at the Berlin Film Festival.
