The Perfection: An Elegant and Terrifying Suspense

Sukanya reviews The Perfection, a 2018 suspense drama full of unanticipated twists and turns, exclusively for Different Truths.

Director: Richard Shepard

Writers: Eric C. Charmelo, Richard Shepard

Stars: Allison Williams, Logan Browning, Steven Weber

An elegant and terrifying suspense drive filled with unanticipated twists and turns. When disturbed musical genius Charlotte (Allison Williams) seeks out Elizabeth (Logan Browning), the new star scholar of her former school, the happenstance leads both musicians down a menacing path with shocking consequences.

This is the first time Ive been completely surprised and didn’t know where the flick was taking me the entire while. That’s so rare.

This is the first time I’ve been completely surprised and didn’t know where the flick was taking me the entire while. That’s so rare. It was performed well, the acting was spot on, and right when I assumed it was going to get cliché, or dull, or tasteless, it flipped the button and again I was amazed. This merged multiple categories faultlessly.

The whole arm cutting off scenario was a little eerie, but at the same appropriate. Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish

The whole arm cutting off scenario was a little eerie, but at the same appropriate. Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish, the writing ensures that the audience is completely hooked in. One moment viewers shall feel aptly grossed out the next they’ll go R.O.F.L. Emotional roller coaster – a perfectly written and beautifully executed movie!
