Claudio C The Stylist (2020) The Hairdresser Serial-Killer (11,934 - 22 Sep 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) In Kansas City, the skilled hairdresser Claire (Najarra Townsend) is a mentally disturbed woman, who frequently has urges to kill and scalp her clients. She collects the scalps in her basement and frequently wears them in front of the mirror. When her client and friend Olivia “Liv” (Brea Grant) is going to marry her boyfriend Charlie (Davis Derock), she begs Claire to make her hair stylish. Then she invites Claire to her bachelorette party. Claire controls her urge for killing; but when she overhears in the bathroom the comments of Liv’s girlfriends about her social class, Claire is deeply affected and her urge returns. “The Stylist” (2020) is a horror movie by Jill Gevargizian about a hairdresser serial-killer. Claire, brilliantly performed by Najarra Townsend, is a bipolar psychopath with urges for killing and scalping women. The conclusion of the film is amazing. Despite the slow pace, “The Stylist” is highly recommended to fans of horror. My vote is seven. Title (Brazil): Not Available My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/25 Full Review Katie H This film was slow and meandering with lots of small talk instead of explaining any motivations for any character. Also, Claire seemed to be neurodivergent which was never clarified, but if she is as the film gives off, this is HORRIBLE REPRESENTATION. I know this is based off a short film but with a longer run time I expect to understand more of the story. If I could give this film 0 stars I would. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review Carlos I Only once in a while does a fresh new attempt at a slasher film come along, and this is one of them. It's more methodically paced, and sits closer in the camp of something like May than its campier brethren. But it's all the way the kind of horror that I'm here for. I'm excited to see what else this director has to offer. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Emilliano Jr S The movie overall was ok. The story progress was too slow Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/28/24 Full Review Chloe M not bad, the scalping was a little too slow paced, a little too gross for me. the actress was good, made me really anxious. I hated the scene she ate pizza tho, why'd she chew like that? Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review thom g An original, beautiful and very stylish addition to the slasher genre. The emotional character of Claire (Najarra Townsend) is particularly compelling and elicits a mixed attachment from the audience: both charming and touching in her distressing desires and scary or repulsive in her intentions and actions (a subtle balance that culminates at the end of the film).
