Like many horror comedies, Bad Haircut has some trouble finding the right blend of the two genres. There are moments that should be filled with dread, but since the film leans a little too hard toward silliness in parts, that tension never truly manifests. That said, Frankie Ray — channeling Jack Sparrow, Buffalo Bill, and Iggy Pop as the tragically off-his-rocker barber Mick — gives a performance so magnetic that most perceived flaws fade away. The movie around Ray may not always work to perfection, but Mick is so damn electric and compelling that he could drive the next cult franchise, a la Art the Clown in Terrifier.
