Cunningham Comes Out for the Horrors


Master of twisted filmmaking Chris Cunningham has shot his first music video for seven years for indie band du jour The Horrors.

The elusive director only sporadically releases new work - the video is his first music video since All Is Full Of Love for Bjork in 2001. He released the very dark short film Rubber Johnny last April.

The song, titled Sheena Is A Parasite, features the talents of English actress Samantha Morton who starred alongside Johnny Depp in The Libertine. Morton, tensing and dancing as if in the midst of a drug induced fit, sweats and rolls her eyes in a dark room lit by strobe lights as the band, looking like something out of Kubrick's Clockwork Orange gone gothic, play in the background.

Cunningham brings his trademark twisted effects work to the video with a host of rather nasty looking alterations to Morton.
