Permanent Wave

About This Movie

Permanent Wave is this fascinating piece of surrealist animation that really digs into the creepiness of a hair salon. The atmosphere is thick with dread, almost like a waking nightmare, where every snip of the scissors feels charged with something sinister. The pacing is erratic, keeping you on edge, and the visuals? They blend a chaotic mix of colors and distorted figures that stick with you long after viewing. It's not just a horror film; it plays with themes of identity and transformation, which is pretty interesting, especially with how the characters morph. Practical effects add a layer of tactile reality to the surreal imagery, making it even more unsettling. Definitely a unique experience, even if it’s not everyone's cup of tea.
