My Missing Half “Embedded in Tragedy” Video Premiere (Exclusive)
We’ve teamed up with Boston melodic death metal band My Missing Half to bring you the premiere of their video for “Embedded in Tragedy”. Directed by Dan Newman, the video mixes performance footage of the band playing in a room that Dexter himself would approve of with shots of a mysterious man drawing surgical lines on a mannequin.
Guitarist/vocalist Bijan Hennessey explains, “We filmed “Embedded in Tragedy” on the same day and in the same room as our video for “The Cell I Call Home.” [Dan] Newman did a sweet job of making both videos feel very different from each other by making “Cell” light and trippy and “Embedded” darker and more disturbing.”
“Embedded in Tragedy” comes from the band’s latest EP A Proper Hangman’s Knot, which you can get either on physical format or on digital.
Director Dan Newman tells us:
Working alongside My Missing Half is always a good time and we’re always pressing the limits. We shot this video under some restrictive space and time conditions, but with that pressure we rose to the occasion and created something special. We had a fun time coming up with a unique visual concept for the video too. I wanted to make sure that we left the viewer with some lasting imagery that tied into the message behind the song and also had some shock value. Really thrilled with the outcome and absolutely loved working with those guys!

A gnarly infection threatens to claw its way out of a moving camper in the first trailer for Shudder’s claustrophobic Hellcat.
The feature debut of writer/editor/director Brock Bodell, who previously edited the Fantasia title Ultrasound, makes its debut on Shudder on August 14.
In Hellcat, “Lena wakes up in a moving camper trailer with a horrifying wound. She’s warned by the driver that they have one hour to get to a doctor, or she’ll succumb to an unimaginably awful fate. As the pain sets in and reality begins to fray, who should really be afraid?”
Dakota Gorman (Natural Disasters) leads the cast that also includes Todd Terry (“Breaking Bad”), Liz Atwater (The Other People), Jordan Mullins (The Bikeriders), and James Austin Johnson (“Saturday Night Live”) in a voice role. Bodell also produces alongside Andrew Duensing and Nate Eggert.
Hellcat made its world premiere last summer at Fantasia. I wrote in my review, “Hellcat is a bit of a Trojan horror that defies easy classification, by design. Bodell’s sneaky debut feature is occasionally too sparse in its worldbuilding in its bid to preserve the mystery, but not enough to detract from the thrilling road thriller that transforms into a completely left-field type of horror we don’t get nearly enough of. The stripped-down tribute to a classic horror staple catches you off guard in more ways than one, marking Bodell as one to watch.”
In other words, there’s a lot more than meets the eye to Hellcat‘s simple infection setup, delivering plenty of surprises along its bumpy road of horrors.
Check out the trailer and poster below and add Hellcat to your watchlists asap.
