One of the top up-and-coming horror directors I keep a close eye on here at AITH is THE EYES OF MY MOTHER writer/director Nicolas Pesce. The man is behind the upcoming reboot of THE GRUDGE (cleverly titled GRUDGE) but before that film hits he has the crazy-ass sounding motion picture PIERCING headed our way this February. And today we have a grizzly NSFW exclusive clip to share with you guys!
The clip features lead Christopher Abbott waiting outside the bathroom for Mia Wasikowska to finish up. But then things get strange as Abbott bursts into the bathroom and catches Wasikowska doing something horrific with a pair of scissors. It's pretty gnarly and totally NSFW. You can check it out for yourself below and then let us know what you think!
Based on a novel by Ryu Murakami (AUDITION) PIERCING drops Abbott and Wasikowska into the following story:
Reed (Christopher Abbott) is going on a business trip. He kisses his wife and infant son goodbye, but in lieu of a suitcase filled with clothes, he's packed a toothbrush and a murder kit. Everything is meticulously planned: check into a hotel and kill an unsuspecting victim. Only then will he rid himself of his devious impulses and continue to be a good husband and father. But Reed gets more than he bargained for with Jackie (Mia Wasikowska), an alluring call girl who arrives at his room. First, they relax and get in the mood, but when there's an unexpected disruption, the balance of control begins to sway back and forth between the two. Is he seeing things? Who's playing whom? Before the night is over, a feverish nightmare will unfold, and Reed and Jackie will seal their bond in blood.
Also in the cast are Laia Costa, Marin Ireland, Maria Dizzia, and Wendell Pierce. Jacob Wasserman, Josh Mond, Antonio Campos, and Schuyler Weiss produced. Universal Pictures will release the film in theaters, On Demand, and Digital on February 1st. I'll be checking it out for sure. How about you?
