Leaving one of the best music academies as a kid, Charlotte, with a twisted plan in mind, now seeks her old mentor and the younger girl who replaced her.
Daring, perverted, gruesome, and brilliant at parts, The Perfection utilises De Palma’s split diopter shots, Hitchcock’s shower scene ‘staccato’ editing, and Aja’s unsettling way of conveying paranoia. Netflix’s new horror avoids cliches, scares, amuses, entertains, and gives you a good run for your money. Allison Williams and Logan Browning, accompanied by operatic music, hold no punches, seduce one another, but also ourselves, and steal the show. Excellent directing by Richard Shepard, who masterfully orchestrates everyone and everything. Two things, though:
Interesting but quite ironic for Miramax to choose such a theme to produce. Also, I wish it didn’t get that explanatory. It doesn’t leave much to think about once the end credits start rolling. Editing should have left certain information out or carefully revealed some of it at the end of the third act.
Regardless, it is a definite must-see for the Horror fans.
