Mandy
Director: Panos Cosmatos
Cast: Nicholas Cage, Angela Riseborough, Linus Roache
Released: 2018
Nicholas Cage encounters cults, drugs and horror - madness ensues.
The Good:
Strong images with a trippy feel, unique type of horror
Gloriously insane
Cage does his full-on mad routine drenched in blood for a sizeable portion of the film, good if you can go along with it
The bikers reminded me of the Cenobites from Hellraiser (as a Clive Barker fan, this can never be a bad thing)

The Bad:
I felt little connection with Nicholas Cage's character who was fairly impenetrable although enjoyed , Cage does his full-on mad routine drenched in blood for a sizeable portion of the film, bad if you can't go along with it
Story makes little sense but it feels like a demented fairy tale so it doesn't matter

And The Verdict:
Hallucinogenic, trippy, gory with interesting imagery but could have been even better with more empathetic characters - "You've got red on you" from Shaun of the Dead sums up the whole film very well! 7/10
