2.5/4
Velvet Buzzsaw (2019)
There's ultimately little doubt that Velvet Buzzsaw has been designed to come off as a trenchant satire of the art world more than a garden-variety horror flick...

2/4
Replicas (2019)
It's an appealingly out-there premise that's employed to persistently underwhelming and pervasively stagnant effect by director Jeffrey Nachmanoff...
