Nathan J @TribianiRamoray 18 hrs ago Rated: 5.9/10 A 1989 killer-weave satire with Vanessa Williams, Kelly Rowland, and Usher sounded too wild to pass up. I like this; Simien nails the 1989 R&B vibe and satire, even when the hair effects look goofy. The Director's Eye (What Worked): • Lorraine makes you feel every wince, from the childhood burn to Virgie’s chair scenes. • Williams is a blast as icy Zora, and the 1989 R&B soundtrack is an earworm. • Tying the weaves to “The Moss Haired Girl” lore adds creepy weight. The Friction (What Didn't Click for Me): • Cheap CGI blood-drinking hair drains tension from the attack scenes. • Long workplace setup makes the jump to campy horror feel bumpy. The Verdict: I like it. Watch for ‘80s vibes and satire. Skip if goofy CGI hair bugs you. See more Morgan D @RT57083589 Jul 20, 2026 Pretty good movie! Very interesting and a little funny. Weird concept but portrayed well. See more Michael P @TheeMichael-jai Mar 13, 2026 Criticisms and all, it's a wonderful black, campy, horror movie. See more Zema K @RT34876047 Sep 3, 2025 In Justin Simien’s satirical slasher, a weave becomes the monster, but the real villain is the pressure Black women face to fit Eurocentric beauty standards. Set in a glossy, image‑obsessed 1989 TV world, it’s funny, messy, and sharp about how “professionalism” can be code for assimilation. The killer hair is absurd; the microaggressions and cultural compromises are all too real. It’s School Daze meets The Ring, with a side of truth that lingers longer than the jump scares.
