About This Movie

Echthaar weaves a rather unsettling narrative, set in a seemingly idyllic 1950s hair salon. The atmosphere is thick with nostalgia, yet there's something off-kilter. You get that blend of charm and dread, right? Paula, the new hire, is drawn into a world where the mundane meets the grotesque, and the practical effects used to convey the horror are really something else. The pacing keeps you on edge, shifting from casual salon banter to moments that chill you to the bone. The tension builds as Paula's fascination with the salon's secrets unravels, making you question what lies beneath the surface of this seemingly perfect slice of life. It's definitely distinctive in how it juxtaposes the ordinary with the nightmarish.
