Definitely a must-see for anyone who enjoys horror with a comedic twist.

Don't be fooled by the context (African-American TV show in 1980's LA, and an African-American centric plot).

This is way beyond "hood films", as I've seen some other reviewer call it (I've never heard that one before, but I instantly knew what this guy meant). Case in point: I'm a effing middle-age white european guy miles away from LA and I had a hell of a lot of fun watching this! Not only that, I was watching this and all the while saying to myself "This is so good!".

I've read comments about the story, about the cast... The cast is very good, and the story, although not new, is a very refreshing take on all the tropes it feeds off of. But still, nobody mentions that this was perfectly directed and edited.

In my library, this gets a place next to Ghostbusters. Well, maybe on the shelf below it, but anyway.. this is a great movie nobody will regret watching.

I mean that's what they say right? On the other hand, having good hair is important if you want to be in front of the camera. Having "bad" hair seems to help too ... but for how long? And who is really benefitting from that hair? Exactly something you will find out in the movie.

Now don't get it twisted: the movie is quite predictable to say the least. Still it is fun in the romp and out there kind of way. The effects are decent enough (considering the low budget nature of the movie) and actors are well cast too. Don't be too squeamish, do not expect much than a horror ride that is almost beyond ridiculous and you'll be entertained.

Sure, I hadn't even heard about this movie from writer and director Justin Simien prior to sitting down to watch it. So I actually didn't know what I was in for here, only that it was allegedly a horror comedy movie of sorts. So I managed to find the time to sit down and watch it.

Well, while "Bad Hair" was a watchable movie, it was not really a movie that fell well into my preference of entertaining or taste. The movie turned out to be adequate for a viewing for sure, but it just failed to properly entice me and entertain me. You might say there was something hairy about it... pardon the pun!

I think that of all the cast that appeared in "Bad Hair", then it was only Vanessa Williams and James Van Der Beek that I were familiar with. I do enjoy watching new and unfamiliar talents on the screen though, and I will say that the acting in the movie was actually good.

The script and storyline, however, was just somewhat a bit of a swing and a miss in terms of properly appealing to me. The movie was just a bit too bland, and bordering on being a bit far too out there in terms of the hair being alive and killing people.

My rating of "Bad Hair" is a four out of ten stars. Give it a go, it might just be the type of offbeat horror comedy that will find appeal with you. I just wasn't won over by what writer and director Justin Simien delivered with the 2020 movie titled "Bad Hair". I am sure that there is a large audience out there for a horror comedy such as this, but of course a movie doesn't find appeal with every single individual out there watching it.
