Bad
Hazel runs a beauty salon out of her house, but makes extra money by providing ruthless women the oppurtunity to perform hit jobs. L.T. is a parasite, and contacts Hazel looking for work after he runs out of money. She is reluctant to use him for a hit, since she prefers using women, but decides to try him on a trial basis. Meanwhile, the cop she pays off wants an arrest to make it look like he's doing his job, but Hazel doesn't want to sacrifice any of her "associates". The sleazy side of life is explored in this delightfully dark and deadpan film.
Why it matters
A grimy, deadpan dive into urban decay and moral ambiguity where femme fatales run a hit salon with icy precision.
- Subverts typical hitman tropes by centering ruthless women wielding power behind the scenes.
- Tense, noir-tinged atmosphere captures 1970s street-level grit without glamorizing violence.
- For fans of slow-burn crime horrors that emphasize mood over gore—a character study in moral rot.
- Not for those craving clear-cut heroes or cathartic justice; this is bleak with a cold, observational eye.
