Fontaines D.C. 'Here's The Thing' by Luna Carmoon

Promonews - 8th Aug 2024

Filmmaker Luna Carmoon, the director of well-received feature debut Hoard, now unveils her debut music video for Fontaines D.C. - where she brings a modern twist to cult classics The Craft and The Lost Boys.

In the Here's The Thing video, Grace Collender plays a girl ostracized by her peers during a community dance competition. After a humiliating fall on stage, she finds herself entangled with a group of outsider girls who begin to infiltrate her life and dreams. The narrative unfolds with elements of supernatural intrigue, as these enigmatic girls lead our protagonist into a world of chaos and rebellion.

With rich cinematography from Antoine Cormier, Carmoon creates an unsettling, gripping atmosphere. The haunting, smog-filled settings evoke the suspense of 80s Giallo films, while the characters’ distinctive, alt-inspired wardrobes draw from grunge and goth aesthetics. And the influence of films like The Craft and The Lost Boys is evident in the way Carmoon portrays the bond between the outsider girls, with the lead character’s transformation from outcast to a powerful, defiant force driving the story forward.

It all leads to an explosive climax, dovetailing with another banging Fontaines track from their forthcoming album Romance
