‘The Stylist’ Will Stream on Arrow Before Slicing Its Way to VOD and Blu-ray

Published

on

Jill Gevargizian‘s indie horror festival darling The Stylist, which features the wonderful Najarra Townsend (Contracted) as a hairstylist-turned-slasher, will first stream on ARROW in the U.S. and UK on March 1, 2021, before making its way to Blu-ray and VOD platforms the following June.

After a highly successful festival run, Gevargizian turned to Kickstarter to help finance a feature-length version of her hair care horror story that would not only bring Townsend back as the stylist, Claire, but feature horror veteran Brea Grant (Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, 12 Hour Shift, Lucky, Dead Awake) with Millie Milan.

In the feature take on Gevargizian’s film, “Everyone dreams of being someone else… but for Claire (Towsend), that dream goes from an obsession to a living nightmare. Her job as a hairstylist allows her to move in and out of other people’s worlds, but when the right target sits in her chair, she does more than observe the client’s life – she ends it, and keeps a permanent souvenir.

“Her lonely life, meticulous method and shocking secrets are suddenly thrown into turmoil when her regular client, Olivia (Grant), asks her to style her hair for her wedding.

Bloody Disgusting’s Meagan Navarro reviewed the indie slasher, writing that “The Stylist evokes bloody sympathy for the psychopath.”

Here’s an early clip from The Stylist in which Townsend goes in for the kill.
