Has there ever been such a grisly, blood-spattered, graphically violent gorefest of a video as this?

Emile Sornin's promo for Dizzee Rascal's Couple Of Stacks arrives on the spookily warm Halloween of 2014 as a premiere on Vice - and not even on YouTube. That's no doubt due to it's unspeakably gory content. But there's also something else going on here - the elusive element that the old 70s and 80s classics of the genre had, and generally lacking nowadays - actual Horror.

In fact, thank god Dizzee is in here, a fairly comforting presence, even as a machete-wielding psychopath. Everyone else, as in the highly memorable dining room scene, looks absolutely terrified. Which makes the viewer terrified.  

In short, Emile Sornin does a remarkable job, walking a line between cult comedy horror, and a harrowing gut-wrenching terror - sometimes in the same shot. Its an absolute belter for All Hallows Eve, and there's more to come.

Couple Of Stacks is just the first half of a Dizzee and Emile 'Z-movie' double-bill. Look out for the 'ninja movie' vid next month...
