Chris Cunningham's new grossout music video

The latest music video directed by “Rubber Johnny” creator Chris Cunningham: “Sheena Is A Parasite,” from the UK band The Horrors. As one Brit YouTube commentser wondered aloud, how many (s)quid were in the budget for this one?

Link to video (anyone have a better version? YouTube craps up the strobe effect that makes this video so visually interesting), here’s a related post on elastico, and here’s a previous BB post about Cunningham. (thanks, Susannah Breslin!)

Update: here’s a way better quality video link, and lo, ye shall find alternate video links here in better quality than the YouTube url. Apparently, Cunningham first hooked up with the band via MySpace. (Thanks, Katzenjammer and James Battersby!)

David Stein says,

The movie clip via the alternate link is in Quicktime, and the standard Quicktime plugin that plays the clip will allow you to – gulp! – step through any part of the video frame-by-frame. I am a big believer in the “less is more” theory of horror, but many of the frames in this clip are even *more* macabre and horrifying!
