In The Stylist, Najarra Townsend plays Claire, a lonely hairdresser who loves her clients as they confide in her with their secrets. She has a number of kills under her belt as a hairdresser, but when she becomes more obsessed with one of her clients, Olivia (Brea Grant), who asks her to be her stylist for her wedding, she begins on a more aggressive, murderous rampage. Blending character study with slasher, Jill Gevargizian's The Stylist paints an intriguing portrait of loneliness and obsession, as it definitely has more gore than your average stalker story, making it feel more like a slasher. It all leads up to a thrilling ending, as it's still interesting learning what will happen to Claire by the end of the film because of Townsend's layered performance as the character. I was able to chat with the film's writer, director and producer Jill Gevargizian through e-mail about her film, in time for the film's Blu-Ray release today, June 8, through Arrow Video.
