Mandy is set in the primal wilderness of 1983 where Red Miller, a broken and haunted man hunts an unhinged religious sect who slaughtered the love of his life. Taking place in 1983, Red is a lumberjack who lives in a secluded cabin in the woods. His artist girlfriend Mandy spends her days reading fantasy paperbacks. Then one day, she catches the eye of a crazed cult leader, who conjures a group of motorcycle-riding demons to kidnap her. Red, armed with a chainsaw and other weapons, stops at nothing to get her back, leaving a bloody, brutal pile of bodies in his wake. This is only Panos Cosmatos' 2nd feature and it definitely has his style plastered all over it. You leave the theater thinking WTF? and HELL YEAH! in one awesome roller coaster experience. It starts off a bit slow the first 10-15min, but get ready. When they mess with his wife, the fun begins and doesn't stop! Best of Cage Rage on screen!<br/><br/>And who doesn't love the Cheddar Goblin now after watching that? I want me a warm bowl of that gastric cheddar goodness. :D Can't wait until this is in theaters to watch again! "Mandy" is a real delight for all those movie lovers who (like me) love intense revenge-drama, are Nicolas Cage fans, and enjoy watching movies that are set in the lovable 1980s. This movie takes its viewers into an alternate , apocalyptic type of environment in 1983. Nicolas Cage's girlfriend is kidnapped by a demented cult, and Cage sets out on his "hunt and kill" mission. <br/><br/> While the basic plot may sound a bit predictable , be ready for an enjoyable number of surprises. It is the director (Mr Cosmatos) who has made this movie truly enjoyable and thrilling up till the ending scene. The best element about "Mandy" is that Mr Cosmatos has motivated Nicolas Cage to give one of the finest, greatest, darkest, and probably the best performance of his career. <br/><br/> I hope Nicolas Cage and Mr Cosmatos are given some awards for teaming up and creating this new cult classic movie. Through Cage, the film’s straightforward revenge plot becomes a King Crimson album played at half speed and twice normal volume; a bizarre and bloody outing with a strong heart beneath the surface.
