Of Interest - Chris Cunningham and The Horrors

I’m ashamed to say I just found this; a cracker from Chris Cunningham, The Horrors ‘Sheena is a Parasite’. This piece isn’t as in your face as some of his previous works, and in that it is, frankly, superb. Played by a perfect Samantha Morton, Sheena, strobbed-up in full vibrant action, starts of manic but easy, and just as you’re thinking, come on, where’s the usual Cunning madness, she lifts her skirt to reveal some more parasite qualities. It’s quick, it’s sharp and seriously effective. In fact, it’s brilliant. The track, which Cunningham allegedly found on MySpace, was released in 2006. Shot on DVCAM in an aircraft carrier in Ealing; produced by James Wilson, with post done at Golden Square on Inferno, as well as later work by Cunningham himself, the end product is sheer genius.
