I know I'm a year late but I just ran across this. Since Dolores sings this to her own daughter I interpreted the video as her facing the next jump into mother-daughter relations, this time she being the mother and facing her own baggage from her past with her mother. She seems to be chasing the young girl desparately trying to warn her, or protect her. It isn't scary, though, she simply wants to correct any patterns in their relationships going forward. The young woman late at night might be Dolores' mother at a younger age when she 'lost' Dolores. Now both Dolores and the ghost of her mother are hoping to preserve the goodness, the innocence of childhood. Beautiful video, just like Dolores as a person!

Hi Bandthur, There is also a scene with similar styling in the recent The Omen remake. The same grey walls & streets, shocked with a bright red hooded character running in the rain. The character, like the one here, is never revealed. But its significance is very much felt.

I think she rather sings this song to her 'inner child' than to a separate person. I find it very touching so!

other than Don't Look Now (which actually isn't that great) a lot of horror films and thrillers come to mind. The Ring had some similar tones, but i can't think of anything else very specific at the moment.

but yeah, definitely feel the cranberries love.

I really liked the color palette of this video. Are there any movies that come to mind that have a smiliar color palette?
