NSFW: Combichrist Dig Through Bodies in ‘My Life, My Rules’ Video (Exclusive)

Published

on

We’ve teamed up with “aggrotech” group Combichrist to bring you the premiere of their new video for “My Life, My Rules”, which was directed by Jason Alacrity.

The NSFW video – due to nudity and violence – shows mainman Andy LaPlegua wake up in the middle of a pile of dead bodies. He manages to clothe himself and then goes to perform in a local venue. But when the bridge comes along, the video takes a rather sacrificial turn and the blood flows once again…

“My Life, My Rules” comes from the band’s latest album This is Where Death Begins. You can purchase the album via Amazon.

Director Jason Alacrity explains:

This story begins when I got a call from Andy (LaPlegua). He said to me “I want to crawl out of a pile of dead bodies covered in blood. I’ll then find clothes somewhere and get dressed. Blood will seep through a white shirt, and then the band will show up and we’ll head off and do a performance at a dive bar.” My response was “Well, that sounds wicked. Let’s do it.”

It was then my job to make sense of that from a narrative point of view. I was really excited to work with the band again after the “Maggots” video, and excited to work in black and white this time. I grew up being heavily inspired by the classic Universal monster movies and silent era films like ‘HAXAN: Witchcraft through the Ages’.

I feel the opening scene in the woods and the fire dancing shots during the ritual are reflective of this. The setting of the murder ritual came from the song title “My Life My Rules”. Rules are customs, disciplines and often times rituals. And shooting in the rural south, the idea of the snake handlers and faith healers seemed to make sense. Some backwoods weirdos creating their own “Frankenstein’s monster” of religions.

This was an incredibly fun video to shoot. We made it with the help of a lot of great people in the Marietta, Georgia area, most of whom were friends of the band, donating their time and locations. Everyone had a lot of fun, and I think that comes through in the video. Even despite its dark subject matter.

‘Late Night With the Devil’ – Exclusive Clip Begins the Supernatural Horror on Halloween 1977

Published

on

The upcoming Late Night With the Devil is one of the most buzzed about horror movies of the year, currently 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and earning rave reviews from both Stephen King and Kevin Smith. King raves that the film is “absolutely brilliant,” adding that he couldn’t take his eyes off it. Smith comments, “I love it. It’s Rosemary’s Baby meets Network.”

David Dastmalchian (Dune, The Suicide Squad) stars as the host of a late-night talk show that descends into a nightmare in the Ghostwatch and WNUF Halloween Special-inspired film.

IFC Films & Shudder will release the hotly anticipated Late Night with the Devil theatrically on March 22 before it heads to Shudder exclusively on April 19, 2024.

Begin the horror with a brand new EXCLUSIVE clip below…

David Dastmalchian stars as Jack Delroy, the charismatic host of “Night Owls,” and the film traces the ill-fated taping of a live Halloween special in 1977 plagued by a demonic presence.

The energetic and innovative feature hails from Australian writing-directing team Colin and Cameron Cairnes (100 Bloody Acres, Scare Campaign). 

The film premiered last year at SXSW. Meagan wrote in her review out of the fest, “Late Night with the Devil captures the chaotic energy of a late night show, embracing the irreverent comedy and stress of live television with a pastiche style. It’s a clever trojan horse for a surprising horror movie that goes full throttle on unhinged demonic mayhem.

“The ingenuity, the painstaking period recreation, a riveting performance by Dastmalchian, and a showstopper of a finale make for one Halloween event you won’t want to miss.”

Spooky Pictures founders Roy Lee (It, The Grudge, The Ring) and Steven Schneider (Pet Sematary, Paranormal Activity, Insidious), Derek Dauchy (“Al Kameen”) and Future Pictures’ Mat Govoni (“Lone Wolf”) and Adam White (“Lone Wolf”) and John Molloy are all producing.

Joel Anderson (Lake Mungo), Rami Yasin, and David Dastmalchian executive produce.
