Two weeks ago we thought that The Weeknd had concluded his stream of videos for 'After Hours' which all added up to one big story revolving around the masquerade of success, addiction and love.

With his latest album 'After Hours' having reached Number 1, The Weeknd has unveiled another video, this time for the song 'In Your Eyes'. This is actually the continuation to his previous 'After Hours' short film, in which the 'In Your Eyes' picks up from the elevator scene. Going all Jason style with a butcher knife from 'Friday the 13th', The Weeknd has clearly chopped up the male counterpart to the female (played by Zaina Miuccia) in the elevator. She then runs out in the street trying to get away from the R&B crooner before ending up in a nightclub. What has become a full blown horror short, Miuccia ends up getting her revenge towards the end. Check it out.
