“It’ll have you reducing your fingernails to chewed-up nubs.”

Okay, we almost don’t want you to read this.

We can start here with the two bits of information that you’ll need, and then we recommend you stop reading, and go read something else on JOE instead, because this is one of those movies that the less you know about it, the better the movie-watching experience will be for you.

So… the movie is called The Perfection, and it is released on Netflix from Friday 24 May.

Now… off you go…

Still here?

Okay, don’t say we didn’t warn you! As per the plot synopsis:

“When troubled musical prodigy Charlotte (Allison Williams – Get Out) seeks out Elizabeth (Logan Browning – Dear With People), the new star pupil of her former school, the encounter sends both musicians down a sinister path with shocking consequences.”

Okay, so that should be enough to quench your interest’s appetite… you’re still here??

Fair enough, then here are just some of the reviews that the movie received after premiering at some festivals late last year:

“This film is an absolute blast. It’s an empowering message marred in horror, tragedy and overall WTF gasps. It’s surely one of the most riveting films of the year and will be burned into your brain long after its ghastly crescendo.” – Fresh Fiction

“The hottest film you haven’t heard of yet.” – Bloody Disgusting

“While it’s easy to see where the story is going, it’s IMPOSSIBLE to anticipate how it gets there. I loved it, and I think this one is destined to become a cult classic.” – I Love Splatter

“[A] masterful work of tension and brutality.” – Film School Rejects

“The Perfection is a genre-subverting erotic thriller that keeps you guessing. It’ll have you reducing your fingernails to chewed-up nubs from its gut-wrenching suspense and shocking imagery.” – Denton Chronicle

Okay, that should be enough now, right?

No??

Alright, fine, here is the incredibly creepy and gross trailer, and a reminder that The Perfection will be added to the Netflix library on Friday 24 May.
