This still gives me chills
I love it when a video can perfectly capture the spirit of the song it was made for. In reality, I think this is actually quite rare.
There is just something about this song and video that I find so bone chillingly eerie. I think much of it is the camera angles, and the lighting. Plus, this video breaks rules, and I honestly think that when an artist breaks rules and steps outside of pre-determined boxes, greatness can be achieved. When I was a film student for a brief time in the early 90s, I was told by one of my profs that you should never, ever film a part of an arm, or part of a leg, without showing the end of that appendage (that is, don't ever shoot the crook of an arm without showing the hand, etc). I guess long standing knowledge dictated that viewers often find this very jarring and odd. But this video does that anyway.
