Having seen the first film from the director Dan Gilroy NIGHT CRAWLER my anticipation to see VELVET BUZZSAW, his second film, was high. Through the trailer, I got that this film was also a thriller, but venturing on horror, a genre that I don’t venture into often, but for this, I made an exception. I enjoyed seeing Jake Gyllenhaal take a role in this film, as he was in the first film, to which I felt that performance was also better. The genius of the film though was its take on how the art world could transform into a horror story. I don’t know if I’d ever seen anything like this, which makes this film memorable as well as entertaining. So for VELVET BUZZSAW, I give it 3.5 stars.
