\u201cis our celebration of the American slasher film, a genre which is fascinating in its traditionalism and strict maintenance of its classic tropes with each new rendition. The masks, the kitchen knife, the home invasion and of course the final girl – which in our case got to be Milla, the iconic queen of horror herself. We met Milla at Cannes Film Festival earlier this year when she waltzed in and absolutely tore up the dance floor at a tiny show we were playing, admitting to us afterwards she was a fan. After bonding over a shared love of horror movies, we showed her an idea we already had for a slasher music video and she put us in contact with a talented director friend of hers, Ben. We developed an idea of Milla being this darkly obsessive Parcels fan in a strained marriage and where this could go in a slasher movie. Before we knew it we were in a rented villa in Beverly Hills with bright blue glitter caked thick on our faces working with a real Hollywood film crew until the sun rose. It was truly mind blowing and so much fun, just like any good horror film should be.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWhen Milla called me to describe what she and Parcels had in mind for a horror-inspired music video short film hybrid, I was immediately all in.\u00a0 We envisioned and experimented until we felt like we\u2019d hit all the right notes for integrating this incredible song into a visually beautiful, yet horrific story.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

French illustrator Laurent Melki – best known for his early horror film images that have now become iconic such as ‘Claws Of The Night’ and ‘Night Of The Living Dead’ – has additionally created an illustrative poster, which perfectly encapsulates the cinematic theme of the video.<\/p>\n
