Julie Ellis has described Sinnistar in interviews (rare, and similarly exclusive) as “a horror film about a girls’ night that never ends.” Indeed, the video draws heavily on the “female gothic” tradition—think Rebecca meets The Neon Demon . The horror here is not supernatural but social: the terror of being excluded, the panic of maintaining a perfect home aesthetic, the slow violence of pleasantries exchanged over champagne. Ellis’s protagonist is constantly offered “exclusive upgrades” to her experience—better seats, clearer visions, more potent cocktails—each upgrade costing a small piece of her autonomy.
