Hulu has premiered the teaser trailer for “Dear White People” director Justin Simien’s Sundance Midnight section opening film “Bad Hair”. In addition, they’ve announced an October 23rd premiere date on the platform.

The horror satire is set in 1989 and follows Anna, an L.A.-based executive assistant who fears the worst when her dreadlocked boss is replaced by Zora – a retired supermodel who pressures her to get a weave. It turns out her new hair has a mind of its own and bites back.
