Following its World Premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival, Jennifer Reeder’s horror-noir Perpetrator is set to be released this September. Perpetrator stars Kiah McKirnan (Mare of Easttown), Christopher Lowell (MY BEST FRIEND’S EXORCISM), Melanie Liburd (The Idol), Ireon Roach (CANDYMAN 2021), and Alicia Silverstone (CLUELESS, KILLING OF A SACRED DEER) and produced by Gregory Chambet for WTFilms and Derek Bishé for Divide/Conquer. Written and directed by Reeder, “Perpetrator follows Jonny (McKirnan), a wild and impulsive teenage girl living precariously in a town where young women continue to go missing and the power she’s forced to uncover the truth in order to survive.

PERPETRATOR is a wild coming of age tale, and we’re thrilled to continue to support

To play the game, you must ride the elevator in a specific sequence, invoking a supernatural creature called ‘The 5th Floor Woman’.
