NSFW clip from Coyote, starring Bill Oberst Jr

Last Updated on July 22, 2021

I'll let this be the last article I write for the night just so we can send you guys off into your weekend on a high note. What we have here is a very NSFW clip from an arthouse horror film titled COYOTE that has been banned at some film festivals and has won awards at others in its first public screenings. From controversial director Trevor Juenger, COYOTE stars Bill Oberst Jr. as an insomniac writer whose sleep-deprived hallucinations distort reality as paranoia drives him to extreme violence. In short, he loses his shit entirely and this clip is here to prove it. Juenger says that this clip "may be my favorite sequence in the film," the moments before Oberst's character snaps completely.

Director Trevor Juenger tweeted last week from a festival, "Someone in the audience keeps yelling What Is This? and What Does It Mean? We're going to give him an aneurysm by film's end." Juenger says a college screening of COYOTE was shut down in mid-film by an administrator citing "extreme violence" while another public screening in the director's hometown of St. Louis had to be cancelled when the theater owner refused to run the film due to "extreme content."

The surreal shocker, which mixes arthouse and horror, is shopping for distribution and its first public screenings have elicited strong reaction—gee, I wonder why! COYOTE certainly looks like one of those flicks that—if you can stomach it—will be a nasty little ride into psychological horror, which tend to be some of the best.
