30 Jul
Summary
- Gunship's cover of 'Time After Time' is featured in the horror film 'Whistle'.
- The music video uses exclusive, previously unseen footage from the film.
- Director Corin Hardy aimed for a late 1980s teen angst horror movie feel.
Gunship, the synth-pop trio, has unveiled a new music video for their rendition of Cyndi Lauper's classic 'Time After Time.' This evocative track is a key element of the soundtrack for Corin Hardy's recently released horror film, 'Whistle.' The accompanying music video, also directed by Hardy, draws from exclusive, previously unreleased footage captured during the film's production.
Hardy envisioned 'Whistle' with the atmospheric feel of late 1980s teen horror, citing films like 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' and 'The Lost Boys.' He emphasized the integral role of music in creating the romantic yet angst-ridden worlds of those cinematic classics. Gunship's synth-drenched cover perfectly complemented a pivotal moment in the movie, offering a companion piece that enhances the film's eerie narrative.
'Whistle' is currently accessible via Shudder and Video on Demand. The film follows a group of teenagers targeted by a cursed Aztec Death Whistle, leading to increasingly disturbing deaths. The cast includes Dafne Keen, Sophie Nélisse, and Nick Frost, among others.
