Ekusute -- Hair Extensions, the Movie

[Neoma]

I was scrolling through the PPV movie listings and happened across "Hair Extensions (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0904049/plotsummary)," a Japanese horror movie about hair extensions that "...carried the grudge of the individual to which the hair originally belonged and started attacking people wearing it at random."

I started laughing hysterically. DH didn't get what was so funny. I think that my friends at LHC will.

[patience]

Now that is too funny!

[Bianca]

Omg, I just have to see that movie :drama: hehe

[Akiko]

I don't think it's funny... Long hair and grudge in Japanese movies/TV shows are very scary. I cannot watch them anymore.

[elrowiel]

Sounds funny, I'll put it on my "have to see"-list.
I hope it will be better than the last films in this category. :mad:

[Neoma]

Actually, I probably won't watch it. But the premise tickled me. :)

[Copasetic]

I NEED to see that movie. It sounds like a classic.

Haunted hair!? I love it. :rollin:Maybe it gives itself splits by blowfrying itself while you sleep? Spooky. Heheheh.

[Ryanne]

I don't know if I will watch it, but it sounds amusing and strange.

[Suitsuki]

Creeeepy.. I must watch it!

That's a very good one! :rollin:

HA!:D :bounce:
Hm i am just gonna have to try and find this movie and watch it! Sounds interesting!
ETA: how long is the hair?

[Dreamernz]

An interesting idea, amusing from our point of view...but i agree that it would be way creepy and scary!!:eek:

[Cantabile]

Believe it or not, I've actually seen this movie! shudder:It was incredibly bizarre, as the haunted hair was growing from a corpse...Not only was the hair on her head growing, but for some reason, hair was growing from her face, her tongue, and from beneath her fingernails.

Her "keeper" would then snip off lengths and sell them as extensions to salons, where the clients would then be haunted/killed off by said extensions.

Oddly enough, the movie was a strange combination of humor/terror. I'm not exactly sure what they were going for there. :rolleyes:

[Akiko]

Good. It wasn't just horror like RINGU, which I have not been able to watch.
Well, I watched it. Oh, I know, I know. I said I cannot watch it. I am sorry. Hmmm. Bizarre! It was really weird.. I read the director was going for horror and comedy. I love black hair. But that was a looooooooot of black hair.:rolleyes:

It was sort of scary. But not exactly funny. It was straaaaange.

[Haith]

I think this is very funny, but I am too big of a chicken to watch it... :)

Akiko, I'm surprised that you watched it. It sounds very weird. I think that I would enjoy it. Bad horror movies are the best kind. :flower:

I did.... I am sorry for being a naysayer at first.:(:( I watched some Japanese horror movies/TV shows growing up. They were very very scary. And I watched Grudge on the way back to Japan on the flight without realizing it was going to spook me when I stayed at mom's place. Especially when I was alone!! I felt as though a ghost was going to come out of closets! Silly, I know. I miss my language and it was nice to hear my native tongue. Thank you for introducing us.

This movie was weird. I don't know how to describe it. I kind of liked the ending. I must be strange!:o

[Aisha25]

I just seen this trailer and oh my goodness it is my worst nightmare I had nightmares of someone cutting my hair and it bleeding it is a very strange movie and I cant believe they take the hair from dead peoples, I could not watch it no way.

I like B-grade horror movies. I haven't seen a lot of Japanese horror movies. In fact, I think that I've only seen The Ring (Ringu). I thought it was kind of funny. Sorry. Didn't scare me. OK, maybe a little. Boo!

I don't watch horror when I know that I'm going to be alone afterwards.

**********************
I think that I actually saw The Ring II, or whatever the sequel was. I just looked at a review of Ringu, and the picture from the trailer alone creeped me out. I scared myself!

Oh, the Ringu did not scare you? Maybe it's OK for me to watch. Hmmm. I am debating. I like B-grade horror and Sci-Fi movies, like the original FLY, Blob (Steve McQueen) and Tremors.:eyebrows:

It is weird! Especially the hair-obsessed man who was keeping the corpse! I guess he supplied most of the humor in the movie :rolleyes: Especially in that scene I vaguely remember - where he was disco-dancing in a wig made from her hair. That sounds disturbing, but it was amusingly odd. Such an oddball film, really :laugh:

[Magicknthenight]

I am watching the trailer. I really have to see this. wow it bleeds that's weird...

[Loviatar]

From the plot summary:
"Yuko (Chiaki Kuriyama) is a young wannabe hair stylist apprenticing at the Gilles de Rais hair salon."

Yeah, I'd take a job at a hair salon named after a notorious murderer, too! :spitting:

I wonder if that's next door to the Marquis de Sade manicurists' and the Hannibal Lecter Steak House? ;)

[Lady Verity]

Genius!
