The Horror of Hair Extensions

Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

I don't speak Japanese, but this appears to be a trailer for Ekusute, an awesome-looking horror movie starring Chiaki Kuriyama (Battle Royale, Kill Bill) about cursed hair extensions that attack the people who wear them. Insert joke about bad hair days.

When are the Weinstein Brothers gonna remake this? Combine Ekusute with the Barbershop franchise, and you'd get a crazy, cross-cultural horror-comedy about the world's most evil weave.
