    Sheer Barber-ism...
    Dexter Miles (Malcolm McDowell) is the seemingly benign barber in the remote town of Revelstoke, Alaska. Dexter has found the perfect place to live, cut hair, and work on his hobby. Unfortunately for the townsfolk, Dexter's -Dex to his friends- hobby is serial murder.

    THE BARBER features Mr. McDowell at his psychopathic, sinister best. Dexter's cynicism fuels his homicidal spree, while the imbecilic Sheriff (Jeremy Ratchford) and a know-it-all FBI agent (Garwin Sanford) bumble along missing the obvious. Dexter watches as these two clowns overlook his involvement.

    This movie works as both a horror-thriller and a morbidly biting black comedy. McDowell has great fun wallowing in the ghastly ghoulishness of it all...
