Directed by Mariama Diallo

201812 min7.1 / 10

A darkly comedic horror-satire that weaponizes the salon as a space of cultural defense, blending genre playfulness with sharp commentary on appropriation and extraction.

The staff of a black hair salon fend off a strange new monster: white women intent on sucking the lifeblood from black culture.
