artist kills people and makes them into statues

Sculptor becomes infatuated with model. Everyone suffers.

In an associative montage statues of saints in rigid and rapt poses are cross cut with those of real actors until the two can no longer be told apart. Gradually the real bodies break away from the constraints of their wooden models through increasingly improvised dance. A successful act of liberation from (Catholic) convention, which the material celebrates in an acstasy of multiple exposures and psychedelic colors.

A statue remains unmoved as they forcefully paint different colors on it.

With deadpan comedy and rich black and white imagery, STATUARY parallels the stories of a reclusive statuary yard keeper (played by the late great theatre artist Ruth Maleczech) and a college grad looking for meaningful paying work.

Edward Alfonso Lexington, the talent-less son of a deceased famous artist will stop at nothing to be famous himself. He lures unsuspecting artists to his home to paint and then signs his name to their art, but not before ordering their murder, with the help of his faithful butler. He then meets a girl that inspires him as an artist, but his evil deeds come to an end when he crosses paths with an artist/voodoo queen who casts a spell on him that turns him into a monster. On his deathbed, he makes his confession and his unfinished masterpiece is revealed.

A living statue causes trouble for unsuspecting bystanders.

Statues also die. But they make a satisfying clangggg, too. Heindl makes the most of a sojourn to London, delivering his own brand of percussive athleticism by visiting nine bronze statues of eminent deceased individuals (Karl Marx, Charles Chaplin, etc.)—whose mute, august representations he treats with the creative-artistic (dis)respect they deserve. It’s hammer time ...

A statue comes alive at night.

Sculpture is a psychological horror gore-fest that tells the story of Ashley Steele, an aspiring artist who returns home after the death of her father only to find the haunting memories of her repressed childhood await her. She is commissioned to create a life-size sculpture of the perfect man, and uses body builders from her brother's gym as models, but soon finds herself spiraling down a path of unspeakable psychopathic terror and murder as she frantically tries to complete her masterpiece.
