Description

THE STYLIST is a deliciously twisted and mesmerizing slice of female-led psychological horror, based on co-writer/director Jill Gevargizian’s award-winning short of the same name. We all dream of being someone else. But for Claire (Najarra Townsend, CONTRACTED), that dream becomes 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, 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. Doors Open @ 6:30 ; Film Starts @ 7:00 LADIES NIGHT is a monthly series hosted by Stray Cat programmer Danielle Krakenberg. These films are intentionally picked with a focus on the struggle, rise, and triumph of empowered (and sometimes crazy) women. At Ladies Night we will view and analyze the complex dynamics, common tropes, and stereotypes of women in genre films and how they’re depicted on the big screen. It's called Ladies Night, but people of all genders are welcome! ++++++++++ Proof of vaccination or proof of negative test within the past 48 hours will be required to enter Stray Cat Film Center.
