The Weeknd's Video for "False Alarm" Is a Beautifully Violent, First-Person Bank Heist

Directed by Ilya Naishuller, who also did 'Hardcore Henry.'

In keeping with his love of transgressive film, The Weeknd's latest music video for audacious single "False Alarm" is a full-on action short film with guns, blood, and a high body count. It's directed by Ilya Naishuller, who reprises the Call of Duty-esque first-person perspective he used in Hardcore Henry. It's also reminiscent of the Prodigy's classic video for "Smack My Bitch Up," although there isn't as much of a twist in this one. In any case, watch the "False Alarm" video below.
