The Stylist

About This Movie

The Stylist is an interesting blend of drama and horror that really dives into the psyche of its main character, Claire. She's a hairstylist, sure, but there's a dark undercurrent to her obsession with beauty that drives the narrative. The pacing is slow, which somehow amplifies the tension throughout, making you really sit with Claire's unsettling thoughts. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, adding a visceral edge to the more gruesome moments. The performances, particularly from the lead, really carry the emotional weight. It’s less about jump scares and more about the psychological unraveling, which gives it a distinct flavor in the horror genre. Definitely a film that lingers with you long after the credits roll.
