Exte: Hair Extensions
Wear them, and they will come after you…
Directed by Sion Sono
Produced by Toei Company
A darkly comedic Japanese body-horror thriller that mines grotesque absurdity from a premise of sentient, murderous hair extensions.
An aspiring hairdresser becomes the infatuation of a tricophilic man who sells hair extensions to nearby salons. The source is the corpse of a girl whose corpse continues to grow beautiful, voluminous, black hair that comes alive, either driving the extension user insane or killing them.
