What to Expect in Perpetrator?

“In the film, Jonny Baptiste (McKirnan) is a reckless teen sent to live with her estranged Aunt Hildie (Silverstone),” reads the synopsis. “On her 18th birthday, she experiences a radical metamorphosis: a family spell that redefines her called Forevering. When several teen girls go missing at her new school, a mythically feral Jonny goes after the Perpetrator.”

Perpetrator is written and directed by Jennifer Reeder. Joining Silverstone and McKirnan are Christopher Lowell as Principal Burke, Melanie Liburd as Jean, Casimere Jollette as Aviva, Ireon Roach as Elektra, Sasha Kuznetsov as Kirk, Greta Stolte as Darby, Josh Bywater as Sterling, Avery Holliday as Poppy, and Ilirida Memedovski as Avalon.

The film is produced by Derek Bishé and Gregory Chambet. Besides Reeder, the creative team also consists of cinematographer Sevdije Kastrati, editor Justin Krohn, and composer Nick Zinner.
