Shia LaBeouf's latest directorial project is a dark and gory music video for electronic duo Future Unlimited.

In the video, LaBeouf's reported girlfriend Mia Goth plays a battered wife who takes revenge on her husband (Future Unlimited's David Miller) by poisoning his food. After he coughs up blood all over the dinner table, Goth's character slowly unravels to the point where she ends up burning her infant child in a fire.

David Bowie
David Bowie's music video for single "The Next Day" was pulled from YouTube hours after its release, only to be allowed back on the site after YouTube said it "made the wrong call."

The video, which features Marion Cotillard and Gary Oldman, features Bowie in Jesus-like garb as he sings in a band at an S&M club. Nuns, hookers, preachers, and cardinals fill the room and take part in various sins while Bowie sings.

Oldman plays a preacher that asks a barely-clothed Cotillard to dance. During the song, Cotillard gets stigmata and begins to spray everyone with blood, including a woman wearing...
