Perpetrator [2023]

PHYSICAL MEDIA: Blu-ray – Limited Edition

DIRECTOR: Jennifer Reeder

WRITER: Jennifer Reeder

PRINCIPAL CAST: Avery Holliday, Alicia Silverstone, Audrey Francis, Casimere Jollette, Taylor Kinkead, Christopher Lowell, Kiah McKirnan

SYNOPSIS:

From the exquisite mind of Jennifer Reeder (Knives and Skin and V/H/S/94) comes Perpetrator, a brilliantly original and twisted take on female suppression, dangerous male predators and the pains of adolescence, with a stunning lead performance from Kiah McKirnan.

On the eve of her 18th birthday, wild and rebellious Jonny is sent by her father to live with her estranged Aunt Hildie, where she begins to experience a radical metamorphosis: a family spell called the Forevering. With her newly uncovered powers, alongside a growing obsession with blood, a freshly feral and self-assured Jonny sets out on a perilous hunt to find a lethal perpetrator, responsible for the disappearances of several local women.

Superbly blending a feminist coming-of-age drama with serial killer and supernatural fantasy genres, Perpetrator is beautifully shot in Bava-esque colors by director of photography Sevdije Kastrati, and features a phenomenal supporting cast, including Alicia Silverstone (Clueless), Melanie Liburd (Bad Boys: Ride or Die) and Christopher Lowell (Promising Young Woman).

The Night of the Hunted [1980]

PHYSICAL MEDIA: 4K UHD

DIRECTOR: Jean Rollin

WRITER: Jean Rollin

PRINCIPAL CAST: Brigitte Lahaie, Alain Duclos, Dominique Journet, Natalie Perrey

SYNOPSIS:

One of Jean Rollin’s least-seen and most underrated works, The Night of the Hunted (La Nuit des traquées) finds the director moving away from his signature tales of vampirism to explore a nightmarish, dystopian world.

In the dead of night, Elisabeth is rescued from unknown pursuers by Robert and taken to safety. But, after she is kidnapped and taken to an austere clinic whose distressed and abused patients are suffering from progressive memory loss, Robert sets out to find her and discover what is taking place in the clinic.

Shot at night on a shoestring budget, with a cast mostly drawn from France’s adult-film industry, The Night of the Hunted stars Rollin regulars Brigitte Lahaie (Fascination) and Natalie Perrey (Lips of Blood) and offers a stark and melancholic take on contemporary society.

Lips of Blood [1975]

PHYSICAL MEDIA: 4K UHD

DIRECTOR: Jean Rollin

WRITER: Jean Rollin, Jean-Loup Philippe

PRINCIPAL CAST: Jean-Loup Philippe, Annie Belle, Natalie Perrey, Martine Grimaud

SYNOPSIS:

One of Jean Rollin’s best-loved films, Lips of Blood (Lèvres de sang) finds the master of the fantastique marshalling all his obsessions – ruined château, remote beaches, abandoned graveyards, mysterious twins, and female vampires.

When a photograph of a decrepit seaside château evokes a childhood vision of an encounter with a mysterious girl, Frederick is compelled to investigate. Soon, he uncovers a surreal and titillating netherworld of female vampirism from which he may not return.

Starring regular Rollin actors Jean-Loup Philippe (Le viol du vampire), Natalie Perrey (The Iron Rose) and twins Cathy and Marie-Pierre Castel (Requiem for a Vampire), Lips of Blood is a tour de force within Rollin’s inimitable oeuvre.
