I didn’t get a chance to review the far out, balls out insane horror-thriller Mandy with the equally far out Nicolas Cage when it first hit here in the states but I might have to revisit the film. In a nutshell, the movie is probably one of the most tripped out flicks to come along in a while and Cage is perfect for the role as his character descends into darkness after the love of his life is taken away from him. What happens next is one of the most grueling revenge pics you’ll ever see and you’ll definitely talk about it once it’s over.
Dazzler Media in the UK is releasing the film in a special edition Blu-Ray with some nifty bells and whistles for extras so check out the 411 below!
Dazzler Media proudly presents the
psychedelic, cult horror
masterpiece, Mandy starring Nicolas Cage,
coming to Limited Edition Blu-ray from 24th May.
Synopsis:
Pacific Northwest. 1983 AD. Outsiders Red Miller (Nicolas Cage) and Mandy Bloom (Andrea Riseborough) lead a loving and peaceful existence. When their pine-scented haven is savagely destroyed by a cult led by the sadistic Jeremiah Sand (Linus Roache), Red is catapulted into a phantasmagoric journey filled with bloody vengeance and laced with fire.
Mandy is written and directed by Panos Cosmatos (Beyond the Black Rainbow) and stars iconic Academy Award® winner, Nicolas Cage (Adaptation, Kick-Ass, Ghost Rider) in his most visceral role to date, alongside the stellar supporting cast of Andrea Riseborough (Birdman, Battle Of The Sexes) and Linus Roache (Batman Begins, Non-Stop). Co-produced by Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Ringsfranchise) it is also one of the final films scored by Academy Award®-nominated composer Jóhann Jóhannsson (Sicario, The Theory of Everything).
