      It's not as bad as he makes it out to be. If you go in sort of knowing that it's like an over-the-top satire of the art world mixed with over-the-top Argento-esque supernatural horror, it's pretty enjoyable. Sloppy, but enjoyable.

    Another thing about this movie is that, I don't think the concept of possessed art is bad, in fact, it could actually be really fun. But that's the problem, the movie is self-absorbed in its own message it gets in the way of telling an entertaining/investing story. At some point, you're just waiting for somebody to get killed one after the other, and nothing progresses to anything satisfying.

      It could have been a great comedy. It was at first anyway. But as you say it went nowhere.
      Rather than the art just killing people, it should have just driven those who viewed it mad with desire. Then the characters start doing crazy (and violent) things to get hold of the paintings. That would have been a bit more contained and meaningful than just "horror art".
      But I disagree a lot with Adam's review on this. It started quite strong for me and I was interested and amused. Just had nowhere to go.

    So I know probably nobody wants to read a random commenter's dissertation on the movie after watching Adum's take, but I just can't shake this goddamn movie for some reason.
    The whole time I was watching it, I kept waiting for it to commit. Commit to a tone (I was assuming black comedy); commit to a theme; commit to a major POV character - anything. And it never did, and to me, that's why it was so dissatisfying.
    I think that if it had aspired to be something more than a cheap mockery of the art industry and a cheesy horror film that it could have been really special. Maybe make a point about how the culture around outsider art is basically the consumption and regurgitation of something created in a "pure" form. Maybe discuss how knowing the crimes of an artist may effect the way a person views their work. Maybe leave the paintings obscured and have the characters react in a variety of different ways to the images as a reflection of their own inner turmoil.
    My intensity of dislike and confusion comes from how much promise this movie had, and how badly most of the actors wanted to elevate it above the source material.

Why couldn't the paintings take over a beautiful house or a landscape or a billboard? Do they want to keep killing people? Was Coco ever investigated after all her boses died one after the other?

    I wanted so badly for this movie to be great from seeing Gyllenhaal was in it and knowing how amazing Nightcrawler was but Velvet Buzzsaw was sooooo bad and what makes me more mad is the fact there was so much potential sitting right there for an amazing horror/thriller film. They bring up the blood in the paint and Dease's history for no payoff other than 'get a load of this creepy guy he was actually pretty crazy huh!!!1!'. They could've easily used the mirror imagery of Sphere to create a much more terrifying leadup to that woman's death than the predictable way she died. The last few deaths in the movie were equally awful. The subtle uneasiness of the paintings should've been used much better especially considering how normal it is for the viewer to feel like they're being watched by a painting. Instead it was paintings of figures with practically no eyes to execute that effect in the first place and just random jump scares throughout. The comedy and cheesy deaths made this movie so campy when it really could've been something very interesting (and cool to see considering the whole movie's based on the art world meaning they easily had every opportunity to try out different styles of film or incorporating techniques you see less in movies and more in the art field!!).
    I think I could easily sum up this mess by how my artist friends described the awkward gallery settings: none of these pieces go together who the hell did this?

There's cheesy horror with serious psychological horror with jump scares and overt black comedy mixed in with what must've been meant as strong social commentary.

      Even the “modern art” felt dated. The art gallery looked like it belonged in the 80-90s. (Look up the Miami Art Basel website to see the real gallery they shot at) It’s clear the writers are old and out of touch with the art scene they are parodying.

      He's not strictly bisexual. The only woman he wants to pork is Josephina because he's kind of obsessed with her beauty (because really, her character has zero redeeming qualities). Maybe he sees her like art in human form and that's why he's so interested in her. He gives zero indications to be attracted to any other woman in the movie.

    It starts out like it's going to be a smooth flashy satire on the LA art world, with a lot of visual and music cues to Mary Harron's American Psycho and Jake in fine form but then it quickly devolves into just a crappy 'And Then There Were None' style kill-off. Even the deaths don't make stylistic sense; they occur in no order, for no reason and sometimes there's no real connection between then and the vengeful spirit of the dead artist.

Some of the moments still fell flat but I actually liked the performances this time round. I revisited this bc the new candyman movie had a lot of parallels. The "more to it" is there but not well rounded. The line "what's the point of art" and the ending shot of Malkovich drawing in the sand tied up the theme more than the entire film. The horror element didn't work but the movie was much better this time around. Still not great but better than a 3/10. Love you Adum. Can't wait for Lion King, if it hasn't driven you mad by now lol.

    This is John Malkovich's third horror film. Malkovich's first two horror films are Mary Reilly (1996) and Bird Box (2018).
    Both Rene Russo and Jake Gyllenhaaal are part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While Russo was Freya through Thor and Thor: the Dark World, Gyllenhall had his debut in Spider Man: Far from Home, taking the mantle of Mysterio.
    Zawe Ashton and Jake Gyllenhaal were both in Nocturnal Animals (2016), which also was at times set in the art world. This time around they do share screen time together.
