Rachel Carey’s highly anticipated comedy is this year’s Closing Night film. Shot on location in Dublin and featuring true-blue Dublin humour throughout, Deadly Cuts proudly returns to its hometown for its world premiere. The film centres on a group of city hairdressers who work hard while having the craic with their customers and each other in a local salon. But when the community they hold dear comes under threat from a criminal gang, the stylists become accidental vigilantes as they take them on to protect the place they call home. Boasting a predominantly female cast including Angeline Ball, Ericka Roe, Lauren Larkin, Shauna Higgins and Victoria Smurfit, the movie builds into both a laugh-out-loud comedy and a love letter to city life. “I made this film because I’d felt for a long time that a Dublin comedy was well overdue – especially one that featured the style, wit, and occasional murderous urges of the Dublin young one – and I can’t wait for audiences to watch it fly,” said Carey of her film.
