14 DAY TRIAL // Jake Gyllenhaal is no stranger to dark, troubling roles, but here he is in a light he's never been seen in before: as a serial killer in the official music video for The Shoes' “It's Time to Dance.”
If you have 8 and a half minutes to spare, check it out in full above – you will probably not be sorry you did.
Directed by Daniel Wolfe, the clip sees the actor as a serial killer with a fondness for hipsters, whom he murders in the most violent – and apparently random – manner.
Should you know yourself to be somewhat queasy, know that the clip contains some images of violence that might make you sick to your stomach.
Other than that, there's not much to say. The video plays like a short film, with Gyllenhaal making an effort as he always does in his performances.
We're fans, so we can hardly find any fault with him – but do let us know what you make of the video and Jake's performance.
