10 Most Disturbing Music Videos In Hard Rock

10. The Kill - 30 Seconds to Mars

As much as Jared Leto has been trying to divorce himself from the realm of good music in recent years, there used to be a time when 30 Seconds to Mars kicked a lot of ass. Going back to the early '00s, albums like their self-titled and a Beautiful Lie were modern triumphs for the space rock genre and sounded like they were coming from a much more genuine place than something like Walk on Water. Even when it comes to the Kill, it turns out Leto had some decent taste in horror graphics too.

Looking to capture the moody vibe of the song, the entire video takes place in an abandoned hotel, with the band struggling to hold onto their sanity as they spend the days seeing spirits around the house. Sound familiar? Yeah, for all of its strengths, most of this video is basically just a ripoff of Stanley Kubrick's amazing visuals in the Shining.

There's nothing wrong with paying homage to your influences though, and the Kill really hammers that point home, going so far as to recreate classic scenes like Leto throwing a ball in the main room to actually playing the role of the house band in the ballroom. Though it may have rubbed some cinefiles the wrong way, the attention to detail in this one at least shows that their heart was in the right place.
