In the cutthroat world of high-stakes contemporary art, ambition and avarice collide with supernatural terror in this stylish horror-thriller from writer-director Dan Gilroy. When ambitious gallery assistant Josephina, played by Zawe Ashton, discovers a trove of mesmerizing paintings by a deceased, reclusive neighbor, she sees her ticket to the top. She is quickly backed by her formidable boss, gallery owner Rhodora Haze Rene Russo, and the influential but mercurial critic Morf Vandewalt Jake Gyllenhaal, who all see a fortune to be made. Yet as these art world elites—including a savvy curator Toni Collette and a desperate artist John Malkovich—exploit the haunting artwork for profit, they awaken a vengeful force within the canvases. The paintings begin to exact a gruesome and surreal price on those who would commodify their creator's tortured genius, blurring the line between aesthetic obsession and mortal danger. This satirical and chilling descent into a neon-lit nightmare explores the deadly consequences when art is valued only as a transaction.
