Argh and dammit. I remembered this recently, and I've been searching for this for weeks, and it's been driving me up the damn wall.

Roughly seven years ago, one summer, I stayed up way too late and saw this... thing on some movie channel. I don't even know if it was a full length movie or an episode of something, but I'm hoping y'all can help me.

This artist guy, played by David Bowie, has these creepy Hirst-like installation pieces involving what looks like pieces of lifelike dolls frozen in blocks of ice. He hires himself an assistant, who takes the opportunity to start learning about this kinda stuff, but gets in over his head and discovers this is a Vincent-Price-House-of-Wax scenario, where Bowie's character is actually killing and dismembering people for his pieces. Bowie's character finds out his assistant's been snooping, we go into a "you know too much, so I have to kill you" deal, and there's a big fight. Then, at the very end...I think even after the credits have rolled, I could be wrong, we see Bowie's character all hacked up in ice, ready to be put in a gallery.

Ring a bell to anyone?

Have you tried checking David Bowie's IMDB listing?

I'm really annoyed that I have absolutely no idea what this is. I'm guessing it's an episode of The Hunger or Twin Peaks, so far.

The Hunger would be my guess also.

I thought The Hunger was that vampire movie he did?

Yeah--I don't remember wax anything being in that. A very beautiful Catherine Deneuve, sure.

Yeah, it's both. They made a horror series with the same name somewhere in the nineties - not a coincidence - and Bowie starred in a few episodes. His character was an artist, so I guess this could be an ep. of that one. Have never seen it, though, but I can't think of anything else.

I haven't seen it either, but considering the alternatives that's my best bet.

It's definitely not Twin Peaks. David Bowie was never in it, for one, and also it was sort of a creepy soap opera with extra weirdness in it and didn't do the one-off episode thing.

He was in the movie, briefly and incoherently. As an FBI agent, though.

Oh, yeah! God, I haven't seen that since it was in the theaters.

(Yes, I saw it in the theaters. I was that much of a Twin Peaks fangirl, yes.)

Also, be fair, was there anything in that movie that wasn't done incoherently? *sighs*

I've heard that it would have made more sense had the TV series continued and/or spawned another movie. Then again, given that most of TP was the writers frantically trying to come up with explanations for their previously-thrown-in random shit...

Does this look right?

It doesn't end the way I remember (is there more that hasn't been put up?) but otherwise, YES. Thank you so much!

I'm not sure if there's more or not. IMDB shows he did 3 episodes so it's worth poking around. :D

The first episode of the Randall and Hopkirk (deceased) remake has a similar plot. David Tennant, the artist, gets cut in half with a chainsaw. Vertically. While wearing a wedding dress.
