The Weeknd 'False Alarm' by Ilya Naishuller

David Knight - 14th Oct 2016

They don't get much bigger, or gut-wrenchingly violent than this. Abel Tesfaye aka The Weeknd, has recruited Ilya Naishuller - the man behind those intense POV blockbusters for his own band Biting Elbows and the movie Hardcore Henry - to direct the video for False Alarm. It's every bit the full-on white-knuckle epic we expect from Naishuller, with knobs on. And even more violent than the very violent Bad Motherfucker.

Not for the fainthearted. Everyone else, fasten your seatbelts.
