Selena Gomez is the star of a new, incredibly creepy-looking horror movie called A Love Story. The short film, directed by Petra Collins, is set to debut on Instagram's new long-form video platform IGTV on an unspecified date. Collins shared a clip and stills from the film on her Instagram, which you can take a look at below. To view this external content, please click here. Collins has discussed her desire to make a horror film with Gomez in the past. "I love The Exorcist and the things that come from inside you," Collins told Vanity Fair last May. "The things that are a little more subtle, and things that you deal with from inwards, and I feel like it's something Selena and I both love talking about...that topic is sort of dear to us." The duo previously worked together on the music video for Selena Gomez's "Fetish" last year, which you can revisit below.

The pop star teamed up with artist and director Petra Collins for a surreal, horrifying visual media project, and now fans can get a glimpse of the frightening short. Collins took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a series of behind-the-scenes shots and sneak peeks at the disturbing project that seemingly answers the question, "What would it look like if Gomez and David Lynch teamed up to make the opening credits for a season of American Horror Story?" The first clip from the project, which is titled A Love Story, shows the 25-year-old singer completely naked in a bathtub filled with murky green water, and discovering a prosthetic face. As she sings to herself, the fake face -- which is really only part of a face -- surfaces in the water, and Gomez curiously picks it up, wears it over he own face, and generally stares at it as the pervasive sound of dripping water echoes over uncomfortable silence. Collins -- who previously collaborated with Gomez on the music videos for the singer's singles "Bad Liar" and "Fetish" -- shared a few other snapshots from the deeply unsettling shower scene, with a retro-filter that gives it a real "Polaroid found in a shoebox belonging to a serial killer" vibe. The filmmaker also shared a few sneak peeks on her Instagram Story that reveal a few other horrifying moments including a shot of Gomez surrounded by a slew of candle-topped birthday cakes as she scraped icing off her leg with a large chef's knife. Petra Collins/Instagram There's also a dramatically lit screenshot of the singer, wet from her bath and covered with a white towel, holding a human eyeball in her mouth. Petra Collins/Instagram Among the brief, cryptic clips, we also see a shot of Gomez sitting on the floor with her head in the lap of a creature with a face made out of fingers, who is stroking her hair. Petra Collins/Instagram Collins shared a behind the scenes snapshot showing a better look at what she called the finger monster's "insane prop head," which was created by sculptor and prosthetic costume artist Sarah Sitkin. The still shot was snapped by artist Moni Haworth, who posted another equally mystifying image from the production to her own Instagram, showing Gomez with translucent white eyes. The project will soon be released on IGTV, Instagram's new long-form video platform, as the program is rolled out over the next few weeks.

From her music video styles to the projects she chooses, Selena does things her own way and marks each video, song, and movie role with her own signature stamp. Her latest departure from the Disney genre? A short, eerie horror film with her friend and video director Petra Collins, called A Love Story. Petra, who directed the “Fetish” and “Bad Liar” music videos, posted a video of Selena to her Instagram, saying, “A Love Story dir by mee 🎥 lil short with @selenagomez 🥀 u can watch excerpts from it on IGTV on my profile⛓.” The video shows Selena in a bathtub with what looks like a sliced-off face in the water with her; it moves from the water to her back and she even almost kisses it. In one brief clip, you can see more skin and body parts in the adjacent room. Creeeeeeepy! The rest of the footage is available on Petra’s Instagram Stories; in it, Selena goes outside to where a human torso is hanging and caresses it lovingly. A human finger hangs from the ceiling in the house and she picks it up to put it in her mouth, eats icing off her legs with a knife, and has her hair played with by someone in a chair with a face full of mangled flesh and body parts. At one point, she wears white-out colored contacts to give her a ghostly gaze. Towards the end of the Stories, we see Selena with an eyeball in her mouth. It’s definitely got a “Fetish” vibe, but way, way, way scarier. Hello, nightmares! The movie appears to be debuting solely on IGTV, which is now available for iOS and Android. It’s also not a complete surprise; Petra told Vanity Fair she and Selena wanted to make a horror movie. “I love The Exorcist and the things that come from inside you," Petra told the mag. "The things that are a little more subtle, and things that you deal with from inwards, and I feel like it's something Selena and I both love talking about...that topic is sort of dear to us." Well, it’s working, Petra — A Love Story is deliciously creepy. We’ll just keep the lights on while we watch. Let us slide into your DMs. Sign up for the Teen Vogue daily email.

On Wednesday, Selena Gomez returned to her acting roots, teaming up with Canadian artist and director Petra Collins for a new bizarre and nightmarish horror short film Move over, Jamie Lee Curtis — Selena Gomez is coming for your scream queen-status. On Wednesday, the former Disney Channel star returned to her acting roots, teaming up with her close pal, Canadian artist and director Petra Collins, for a new bizarre and nightmarish short horror film. Rolling out exclusively on Instagram’s new long-form video platform IGTV, the film is filled with disturbing imagery. There’s Gomez, 25, naked in a bathtub, playing with a dismembered face in one clip from the film. And Gomez sucking on a singular eyeball. At one point, she lays at the legs of a woman with a face made out of a dismembered fingers. Later, the star just casually scrapes icing off her own leg with a knife and eats it. All the while, Gomez hums an unidentifiable tune while American Horror Story-esque music plays in the background. Perhaps most creepy, the film is titled “A Love Story.” Collins and Gomez have worked together before: She directed the singer’s 2017 music videos for “Bad Liar” and “Fetish” — the latter which featured its own fair share of strange imagery (including Gomez flailing around the kitchen, eating lipstick and glass). The two are good friends, and talked for well over a year about collaborating together on a horror movie. Collins told Vanity Fair last May, “I love The Exorcist and the things that come from inside you, the things that are a little more subtle, and things that you deal with from inwards, and I feel like it’s something Selena and I both love talking about … that topic is sort of dear to us.” Coach 1941 - Backstage - February 2018 - New York Fashion Week Petra Collins and Selena Gomez | Credit: Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images As part of A Love Story‘s rollout, Collins, 25, also shared a series of behind-the-scenes shots of the film to her Instagram account. Meanwhile, earlier this month, Gomez released a video of her own: The music video to her latest hit about being stuck on an ex-boyfriend, “Back to You.” The Scott Cudmore-directed retro-style video — which features Gomez, sporting bangs and a short bob, leaving a boring party with a love interest to steal a car — had fans questioning whether the singer was slyly referred to her own past relationships. “So where are we going?” asks her blond beau in the clip, who bears a slight resemblance to ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber, 24. The star then lists several seemingly random destinations: “Italy. France. Canada. Russia. Michigan.” RELATED VIDEO: Selena Gomez’s Mom Responds To Stefano Gabbano Calling Her Daughter ‘Ugly’ On Instagram According to fans, the destinations may actually have significant meaning. After going public with their relationship, Gomez, 26, and her ex-boyfriend The Weeknd, 28, were spotted vacationing in Italy together. The entertainer was also photographed supporting the Canadian star at one of his concerts in France. Though she could also be referencing The Weeknd with Canada, most fans know that Bieber grew up in Ontario. And Gomez previously confirmed she had a short-lived romance with her former collaborator Zedd, 28, who was born in Russia.
