Review: ‘Hairkutt’

So I got home yesterday to a package that contained a documentary from two St Louis director’s named Curtis Elliot and Ben Scholle. The name of this documentary is Hairkutt.

I watched the trailer this movie prior to getting it, and I honestly had no idea what this was going to be about. When I opened the dvd and read the back it clued me in on the fact that this movie isnt about a guy that cuts hair, but a guy who is struggling with a heroin addiction.

I started watching the movie, and after about 5 minutes I was hooked. This documentary takes you on an uncensored journey into the world of heroin addiction, and 3 friends who desperately want to help a close friend kick his 15 year habit. They plan to take him to a remote cabin in Tennessee to give him a five day detox in the hopes that going cold turkey 500 miles from home would help get his life back on track. What follows is a scary, jaw dropping experience that no doubt changes all of their lives. What is more amazing is to watch Hairkutt go from a quite drug addict, to a happy chatty, easy going guy after a couple days off heroin. This documentary is a spell biding journey into the life of a real drug addict, and the people that want to see him succeed in life, without the heroin.
