The Stylist | Official Trailer | ARROW

Obsession gets a makeover in The Stylist, a deliciously twisted slice of female-led psychological horror, nominated for the New Visions Award for Best Motion Picture at the 2020 Sitges International Film Festival and based on co-writer/director Jill Gevargizian’s award-winning short film of the same name.

We all dream of being someone else… but for Claire (Najarra Townsend, Contracted), that dream goes from an obsession to a living nightmare. Hairstylist by day, serial killer and collector of scalps by night, Claire’s lonely existence is thrown into turmoil when her regular client, Olivia (Brea Grant, After Midnight; director of 12 Hour Shift), asks her to style her hair for her wedding day. Increasingly fixated on Olivia’s seemingly flawless life, Claire vows to lock up her scalp collection and change her ways for good – only to discover that repressing your deadly desires is easier said than done…

Featuring striking visuals and pitch-perfect performances from its talented cast, The Stylist offers viewers “a delicately deranged glimpse into social anxiety and loneliness” (Slashfilm) – a bold and mesmerising debut feature from a filmmaker to watch.

I can remember watching the original to this so weird and good can’t wait to watch this one

[JustinDavidTalks]

Incredible movie, shot in my home town of Kansas City! I highly recommend this film. Blu-Ray release from Arrow Video later this year!

Oh, Brea Grant is in it, now I'm sold.

[Starr_Apathy]

This looks great! Beautifully shot too!

It looks like it might be one of the best indie horror I have seen in a while.

Any chance of a blu-ray release? I really hope so!

Claire wasn't a believable killer for me so it didn't work. If you're going to use a beautiful man/woman to play a killer, and make it believable, don't ever show them smiling. Unless it's a very strained and awkward smile, like Christian Bale did so well in American Psycho. Which worked great. There's one scene where Clair smiles beautifully, and it makes her look very emotionally connected, and that's a big no-no for homicidal maniacs. Because the lack of this is generally precisely how they are able to commit such inhuman acts.

Why is arrow not putting this out in 4K ?

[Zeitgeist]

Just saw it... Is it wrong to feel sad at the end?

[winehound]

So this is basically the female version of Maniac?

[Steve-cmys]

Afrostraighteners would swipe our hair this way if they thought they wouldn't go to jail.

Why isn’t all this in the actual short film or is this turning into an actual movie??
