The Stylist – Watch the trailer for new psychological thriller

ARROW will premiere writer/director Jill Gevargizian’s debut feature The Stylist, a sleek and inventive psychological thriller starring Najarra Townsend (Contracted) is a brilliant but shy hairdresser with an extremely dark secret.

We all dream of being someone else… but for Claire (Najarra Townsend, Contracted), that dream goes from an obsession to a living nightmare. Hairstylist by day, serial killer and collector of scalps by night, Claire’s lonely existence is thrown into turmoil when her regular client, Olivia (Brea Grant, After Midnight; director of 12 Hour Shift), asks her to style her hair for her wedding day. Increasingly fixated on Olivia’s seemingly flawless life, Claire vows to lock up her scalp collection and change her ways for good – only to discover that repressing your deadly desires is easier said than done…

A hit on the festival circuit in 2020 (including Sitges and Arrow Video FrightFest), Alan said the film was “a stunning-looking and heart-breaking character study of Najarra Townsend’s spiralling sensitive serial scalping snipper.” You can read his full review here. Developed from her popular 2016 short, Gevargizian’s film, along with the likes of Prevenge, St. Maud and Promising Young Woman, herald a new era of startlingly original and socially relevant thrillers with women front and centre.
