Jonathan Snipes has kept things creepy with scores to Starry Eyes and Room 237, as well as with his beatsmithing for experimental rap outfit clipping. Now, he's delivered a twisted sneak peek of his score to the upcoming Excess Flesh via a choreographed torture scene from the film.

The clip begins with the disturbing sight of a shackled woman (Mary Loveless) being abused and forced to dance by her roommate/captor. This soon gives way to a neon-lit fantasy scene where the victim is decidedly more in control of the situation. Here, Loveless stomps out a Soft Cell-styled electro-pop piece called "I Don't Race" alongside a troupe of subservient dancers. This is juxtaposed against back-to-reality projections of the entrapped woman vomiting.

Be warned: the mix of grim and glammy moments is pretty uncomfortable, but you can give the clip a peep below. Filmmaker Patrick Kennelly Excess Flesh premieres October 30 at Los Angeles' Downtown Independent theatre. You can find out more about the film over here.
