Watch Shia LaBeouf's NSFW Marilyn Manson Video

Not too long ago we passed along the shocking news that Transformers star Shia LaBeouf expressed interest in directing a documentary about controversial rocker Marilyn Manson... and this week a disturbing new music video has been released online that pretty much confirms Shia's story.
The short film 'Born Villain' features Manson at his most intense, and it's most definitely not safe for work viewing (or for viewers under 18).
In an interview with MTV News, LaBeouf explained that the graphic and surreal video draws from many visual and storytelling influences, including Shakespeare, religious themes and surrealist films like Luis Bunuel's classic short Un Chien Andalou (familiar to a lot of horror fans for its explicit scene of a woman's eyeball being sliced with a straight razor), Pasolini's classic shocker Salo and Alejandro Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain.
"We tried to make Manson's Un Chien Andalou macabre Macbeth," he explained. "That's sort of what that became."
The two clicked creatively after Manson watched Shia's video for 'Maniac' by the band Cage, saying that Manson "freaked the F out" (which is probably a very rare occurrence).
The actor also expressed his great respect for Manson's work... even if a lot of that respect came from his childhood fear of the artist. "I don't know of a scarier figure in art," he admitted. "He, in my teenage years, was the scariest thing in the world, so part of me has always been intrigued."
WARNING:
The Music Video 'Born Villian' is for Mature Audiences.
It contains scenes of nudity, sexual acts, gore, and violence.
