Lex Amarni 'The Kill 2' by Chris Ullens

Promonews - 12th Aug 2026

Chris Ullens returns to familiar territory to weave a mindboggling tale in stop motion animation for UK underground hiphop rapper and producer Lex Amarni.

As in his videos like Fergie and Lee Ann Womack, Ullens uses dolls in The Kill 2 to tell the story of two LA girls whose addiction to doomscrolling on social media takes a terrifying turn. The result is jawdropping ultra-violence, just like in his seminal horror video, featuring a demonic teddy bear, for Two Fingers.

Things get wild as soon as the girls leave the comfort of their high-rise apartment, to meet the influencers who dominate their social feeds - and their killing spree begins. And even if the protagonists are Barbie dolls, what follows is still not for the faint-hearted. In fact, that possibly makes it worse.

This pair are definitely the gruesome twosome - and the ending could not be more explosive.
