Musical prodigy Charlotte is a rising star but leaves the music world to care for her ill mother. Returning to music years later she befriends Elizabeth, the rising star at her old music school, sending the two down a new path together.
Allison Williams (Charlotte), Steven Weber (Anton), Alaina Huffman (Paloma), Logan Browning (Elizabeth), Christina Jastrzembska (Aunt), Glynis Davies (Aunt), Milah Thompson (Young Liz), Molly Grace (Young Charlotte).
The Perfection begins with a bit of background explaining why Charlotte left the music world but is now ready to return. Finding her way back to her old music school, she befriends her replacement and rising star, Lizzie. The two quickly bond but that is where things also start to get a bit strange as the two set out on an overseas vacation together. The remainder of the film is a strange but engaging horror thriller with some nice surprises.
Acting was well done with Williams delivering a nicely disturbing performance and seeming to work well with Browning who also did quite well. Weber was well cast in a creepy role that suited his skills perfectly. Huffman was also entertaining, as was the remainder of the supporting cast.
Camera work, sets, and backgrounds were all nicely done and the film has a solid, big screen feel. Action scenes added the horror aspect in this one and fit perfectly. Dialogue was good with nice depth throughout. Sound and soundtrack are well done with some nice tracks that fit well.
While The Perfection may sound like a mild drama, the film is in fact a nicely done horror thriller with added aspects of alternative relationships and disturbing psychology. Those who enjoy a horror thriller that is a bit different than most should enjoy this one.
With some nudity, sexuality, violence, gore, disturbing images, foul language, and adult situations, save this one for the oldest teens and above.
