Dan Gilroy’s Nightcrawler is on of my favorite films in recent memory. So when I heard his next project was a Netflix original with Jake Gyllenhaal in the lead role once again, I was obviously interested. But that interest turned to near rabid fandom after taking in the debut trailer for Velvet Buzzsaw. I wasn’t ready.

Unlike Nightcrawler, Velvet Buzzsaw seems to fully embrace the horror genre. The trailer, below, showcases plenty of action, suspense, and the red stuff while awing with jaw-dropping cinematography and a star-studded cast. Simply put: watch the trailer, and watch it now.

Velvet Buzzsaw seems to fully embrace the horror genre.  

Velvet Buzzsaw will premiere on January 27th at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival before hitting Netflix on February 1st. I know where I’ll be at the first of the month.

Plot Synopsis:

After a series of paintings by an unknown artist are discovered, a supernatural force enacts revenge on those who have allowed their greed to get in the way of art.
