Musician Oliver Sim – singer and bassist of The xx – joins forces with filmmaker Yann Gonzalez (You & the Night, Knife + Heart) for a three-part queer horror movie that features songs from Sim’s debut album Hideous Bastard.

The short film Hideous stars Sim as the main guest of a talk-show which slides into a surreal journey of love, blood and homage to some of Sim’s favourite horror films. Featuring appearances from queer icons singer-songwriter Jimmy Sommerville and drag queen Bimini — plus Jamie xx, long-time collaborator of Sim and producer of the album.
