Bring Me The Horizon 'Strangers' by Thomas James
Rob Ulitski - 14th July 2022
Thomas James directs a beautifully twisted and sublimely surreal exploration of inner demons coming to life, in his promo for Bring Me The Horizon's Strangers.
In a nondescript industrial space, a host of characters undergo Cronenberg-style body horror transformations, intercut with a suitably haunting performance from the band.Â
Bodies twist, contort and conjoin in a horrific yet eerily beautiful way, balancing a nightmarish aesthetic with hyper-intimate, bravura cinematography by Adam Barnett.
James draws on a host of influences - including a special nod to Chris Cunningham and Aphex Twin's Rubber Johnny - but adds his own facility for narrative and sense of humanity to the outstanding VFX work. It's a brilliantly successful execution of a stunningly ambitious concept.
