Massive Attack ft. Young Fathers 'Voodoo In My Blood' by Ringan Ledwidge
Ringan Ledwidge makes a very rare return to directing music videos with an absolute riveter for Massive Attack's Voodoo In My Blood featuring Young Fathers (from the new EP Ritual Spirit), with top British actress Rosamund Pike in an encounter in a deserted London underpass with a very menacing floating orb.
Ledwidge draws on influences from classic '80s horror (in particular the late Andrzej Żuławski's Possession, and Phantasm 2) to create something with a less obviously creepy aesthetic. But the way that the sphere controls an increasingly Pike is a nailbiting study in menacing suspense, as well as a metaphor on human dependence on technology.
And although less obvious that the recent Chemical Brothers video directed by Dom & Nic, this is also the result of some brilliant VFX work, in this case executed by the team at Electric Theatre Collective.
