Entertaining in a way that's at once showy and rather clinical. Go to Full Review

This movie is insane and I totally dug it. I almost don't want to talk about it... Just go see it and trust me on this. Go to Full Review

Unfortunately, despite the acting and the twisting and bending of genres from horror to revenge fantasy-The Perfection begins to crumble during the third part... using sexual violence as a crutch ruined it. Go to Full Review

6/10
The Perfection is not without it’s charm, and it gets a B+ for effort, but overall it’s a pretty average flick. If you want a dumb campy horror movie with a much larger budget than it deserves, watch The Perfection. Go to Full Review

Maybe there's something here about the insanity of genius, but the film doesn't want to reach for anything that insightful. All it wants is to provide a few scares and let its flashy camerawork attempt to prop up a subpar story. Unfortunately, it can't. Go to Full Review
