Netflix's 'Velvet Buzzsaw' takes pleasure in killing its clichéd characters in Dan Gilroy's weirdest movie yet

This psychological thriller is best described as a beautifully visual, but just as weird, trashy, horror flick reincarnated from the '80s. The 'Evil Dead' of today.
PUBLISHED JAN 31, 2019

Dan Gilroy re-unites with 'Nightcrawler' stars, Jake Gyllenhaal and Rene Russo, for one pretty weird and fanciful movie. 'Velvet Buzzsaw' may not be your regular run of the mill horror-satire, and the first five minutes takes the viewer through all the pretentiousness of the high-end art community, with Gyllenhaal masterfully playing an Andy Warhol like character by the name of Morf Vendewalt.

While the film centers around artists and art critics in all their flamboyant and sometimes nauseating glory, the main theme of the show is wrapped around one of the most overdone themes in horror film history - grotesque paintings coming to life, killing those who make intimate contact with them.
