Annie Clark, whom you may know as genre-bending songstress St Vincent, has been keeping busy with extracurricular activities lately. For one thing, she recently designed a guitar that’s custom-build for the female body.
But she’s also set to make her directorial debut with a new horror film. As Consequence of Sound reports, Clark is one of the ladies tapped for XX, an upcoming horror film featuring four terrifying vignettes.
Karyn Kusama, director of The Invitation as well as one of the contributors to this series of “four deadly tales by four killer women”, revealed that Clark is currently working on her contribution to the film.
“Jovanka [Vuckovic]’s film is finished. Mine is finished. I think we’re waiting on Annie Clark from St. Vincent, who is now making her own films. She has a film in it,” she told the Killer POV podcast, via CoS.
“The films are very different, but there are overriding anxieties about female-ness to a degree. And I want to say body horror is a component. I remember my first idea I couldn’t do because not that it was… too similar, but thematically, we were treading in the same waters.”

“[Producer] Todd Brown feels pretty certain that they’ll end up being natural thematic alignments.” Clark’s contribution with go into production later in the year, with a script made in collaboration with V/H/S producer Roxanne Benjamin.
Whilst details, including who will star in Clark’s segment, are scant at the moment, they’ll no doubt emerge once filming gets underway. In the meantime, Pitchfork have managed to get ahold of the poster for the flick, which you can check out above.
