Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter is ruling the summer charts, with her hit songs 바카라Espresso바카라 and 바카라Please Please Please바카라 taking turns at the number one spot on the Billboard 100. Known not just for her music but also for her love of movies, Carpenter has now released a new music video for her song 바카라Taste,바카라 the third single from her album Short n바카라 Sweet. The video, packed with references to iconic horror films, is a treat for cinephiles.
While 바카라Please Please Please바카라 featured a thrilling Bonnie and Clyde-style storyline, starring Carpenter바카라s boyfriend, Oscar-nominated actor Barry Keoghan, 바카라Taste바카라 shifts gears into the horror genre. In this latest video, Carpenter teams up with Gen Z바카라s 바카라scream queen바카라 Jenna Ortega to deliver a chilling yet humorous take on revenge.
Released on August 23, the video follows Carpenter on a mission to get back at an ex-boyfriend (played by Halloween Ends star Rohan Campbell) and his new girlfriend, portrayed by Ortega. Directed by Dave Meyers, the three-minute clip is filled with gruesome but darkly funny moments. Carpenter and Ortega바카라s characters engage in an escalating battle of bloody revenge, using everything from knives and chainsaws to a voodoo doll.
The climax of the video has Ortega mistakenly cutting her boyfriend in half during a body-swapping scene. In the end, the two women, now bonded over their twisted ordeal, walk off together, leaving the boyfriend바카라s grieving mother behind.
Ortega바카라s character jokes about the ex-boyfriend바카라s insecurity, to which Carpenter responds, 바카라You kill me,바카라 highlighting the video바카라s tongue-in-cheek tone.
Beyond the gore and dark humour, 바카라Taste바카라 is full of nods to classic horror films. For example:
"Death Becomes Her"
The 1992 fantasy classic starring Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn is a major influence on the video. Just like in the film, Carpenter바카라s character is shot and left with a gaping hole in her stomach, through which others can be seen.
The video also mirrors the movie바카라s final funeral scene, with both taking place in a grand mansion where characters keep coming back to life after suffering cartoonish injuries.
"Ginger Snaps"
This 2000 Canadian horror film about two sisters dealing with werewolf transformations is referenced when Carpenter바카라s character is impaled on a white picket fence, mimicking a famous scene from the movie.
"Kill Bill: Volume 1"
Jenna Ortega바카라s character dons a nurse outfit, complete with an eyepatch, just like Daryl Hannah바카라s character Elle Driver in Quentin Tarantino바카라s Kill Bill. The scene adds to the video바카라s playful homage to classic horror.
"Psycho"
The video recreates the famous shower scene from Alfred Hitchcock바카라s Psycho, where Carpenter바카라s character faces a knife-wielding attacker, a clear nod to the horror master바카라s iconic film.
"Addams Family Values"
Carpenter바카라s outfit in one scene mirrors the feathered white ensemble worn by Joan Cusack바카라s character, Debbie Jellinsky, in the 1993 film Addams Family Values. The character바카라s serial killer tendencies fit perfectly into the revenge-driven plot of the 바카라Taste바카라 video.
