Saw this last night. Holy mother. Its like if Hellraiser and Nicolas Cage had a baby. That baby was then adopted by Stanley Kubrick and David Lynch. That baby then grew up to be Nicolas Cage.
Just wanna add that there are scenes in this movie that can only be described as a fever dream on coke in the back of a Ford Pinto with a bag of coke that is high on Nicolas Cage in the driver seat.
Don't compare this piece of shit to Kubrick. this fucker uses large flat focal points and just destroys potential good cinematography. Kubrick would never do that shit.
I have faith it will be but i find incomprehensible that a movie could ever be as good as his debut "BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW" The most genius, mind altering, visually stimulating mind slashing 80's style of minimalism and sheer antagonism like never done before! I find it hard to ever top that movie but he is "Lord Panos Cosmatos" with cinematic blood line from his father and the half blooded Italian in him channels the greatness of Italian horror master "Lord Dario Argento" with such movies like "Susperia, Tenebrae, Demons, Opera & phenomena, thus where stylised, artistic horror was born and reigned supreme was from Dario the Italian master of horror (his movies were not that great when he left the 80's) " People compare Panos to Kubrick but and Lynch, Dario but he is much more than they were he is more cryptic and has the power to create a world and a new genre (Lost 80's Horror).A new Stanely Kubrick in town but better "thus he learnt how to be amazingly cryptic due to Kubrick" . Panos gives u a small taste of Dario Argento, Stanley Kubrick, Lynch & his father George .P Cosmatos. He shows lineage to so many greats in movie history, he is like a chronological master of film lineage (faaarrr better than Tarentino) this lineage mastery creates nostalgia and his cryptic screen play writing for BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW will forever plague us all, a true synopsis for BBTBR he will die with him im sure. Im sure they will study it in psychology universities as a masters degree in time. His fathers style and comedic/badass/hollywood cheeze touch from movies such as Cobra, Rambo etc.will also give him extra style and power to reinvent and reshap the "80's lost horror genre" for many movies to come . Im sure it will be his magnum opus as he is the greatest movie master of all time but BBTBR gonna be hard to top it the best !!!!
I loved the movie so much i did a remastered edition with Sinoia caves other albulm which is much the same and i altered bits too so it will make you fall and be hypnotised to foall asleep even more. and you can use this for and Audio?Viz set due to it running on the actual movies timeline soundcloud.com/vogue-slayer/beyond-the-black-rainbow-vs-remastered
The first 20 minutes of this film are magic. This is the definition of cinema. The feeling of being out of your body, your life..and experiencing the film as a warm memory.Truly beautiful and wild
I used to work in a home theatre shop, and we had a demo room that the staff could use. I brought some friends and we had a Mandy viewing on the enormous screen and incredibly immersive sound system. It was a profound experience.
This is still one of the greatest movies I've ever seen in recent years. It's everything I ever wanted to put in a movie. Ultra-violence. Rage-filled vengeance. Synth music. Film grain. Giallo-esque colors. All blended so perfectly together.
The creator of Beyond the Black Rainbow finally made another film. I never thought I’d see the day. I’ve been waiting for another piece from Panos Cosmatos for so damn long. This guy is something special. And like every man before him, he will fly under the radar until 15-20yrs later. What a legend.
Exactly.. I was head over heels with Beyond .. Then this finally came out, didn't dissappoint ! Brutally evocative, gorgeous cinematography and fantastic synth soundtrack. Man, what a trip :)
Well...what Panos Cosmatos does is heavily retro in style, harking back to directors such as Kubrick, Tarkovsky, Carpenter, Cronenberg, Roeg, Argento, Jodorowsky. So it's not really *THAT* innovative or original in its elements, but it's how he puts it all together and blows it up to larger-than-life propotions as an utter nostalgic nerdgasm. He's sort of like doing the 70s/early 80s movies that fans of the era and genre have always wanted. And in a much more mature way than the utterly puerile garbage done by Tarantino.
Mad mad mad film. An absolute underrated Masterpiece. They made films like this in Italy between 60s and 80s. They are brutal but this is pure madness and beautiful at the same time.
Saw it in Cannes twice because IT FRIGGIN' SHREDS... The audience was legit cheering for Nic's cultist killing as it all progressed... Top 3 theater experiences of all time for me
I saw it. How to describe it... Imagine grinding together 80s nostalgia, LSD, blood & gore, and all the cool black metal album cover art ever made in a cocaine-like fine powder and then snorting it. Nicolas Cage is at his craziest (expect a lot of memes to come out of this movie), but his overacting fits perfectly here.
There’s crazy Nic Cage and then there’s on the mortal worlds most potent LSD concocted by Beelzebub’s 7th Prince of Cosmic Corruption, Rancor, & the Existential Beyond laced w/ (“the cherry on top”)cursed toxins of the Great Abomination Insect which dwell in the bogs of Azgoth, Nic Cage... But really, I’d say Nic Cage doesn’t overact at all in this. He was once one of the top tier film actors working in the 90’s and early oughts, after all.
I only watched it this year and I'd say that's it's the best film I've seen in 2019 and 2020 years. There's not much to it plot-wise, but the acting, cinematography and atmosphere are unreal. It's a lucid fever-dream of vibrant imagery, supernatural elements, and incredible violence.
Nic Cage having a chainsaw duel with King Eckbert from Vikings,Bill Duke from the OG Predator is there and it's directed by the son of the director of Rambo II and Cobra? O.K. sign me up baby!
You forgot to mention Richard Brake who, among other things, played The Night King in GoT and Joe Chill in 'Batman Begins'. Just a whole bunch of badassery.
It has a very basic premise, but it's a visual artistic modern masterpiece. It's like an insane LSD trip from Hell, and Nicholas Cage is a bonus that cranks the "insanity meter" at the highest number. You could also tell they got a lot of inspiration from Giallo italian horror films like Suspiria and Grindhouse 70's style films.
It also has lots of references at least in the visual style with the newer neoretrowave artists (Turbo Killer video clip comes to mind effortlessly) - a genre that appeals a lot to many metalheads. I believe that's intended and if so, more than welcome.
Damn it, Mandy. Where the hell have you been? I've been looking for this trailer for months, and you just NOW show up and expect me to watch it? Well, forget it. I've given up on your movie and I don't c...wait, baby! I didn't mean it! Of course, I'll watch every second of your trailer. I love you, Mandy.
Saw this last night...it was astoundingly good...original...brilliant...beautiful...uncompromising...I already know this is a movie I will see about 17 times in the next few years...probably 3 more times this week alone...instant classic...Nic Cage kills...best role of his career...bravo!!!
He really doesn't have a film where he gets to make his character his own. This looks like Evil Dead/John Wick territory. National Treasure doesn't count.
The first half moves incredibly slow but the second half is amazing. It's visually stunning and leaves an impression even hours after watching. In my opinion, it's one of cage's best performances.
This movie.....I dont even know where to begin.....King Crimson opener....Sunn O)))'s Stephen O'Malley doing guitar work throughout....the movie is fucking insane!!!! The first half is simply beautiful, the second half is utterly brutal. I've never seen anything like it....the cinematography is literally other-worldy....I'm still trying to process what I just watched. It was just too much...
Literally every single source categorizes it as horror, Peele himself says it's a horror film and that he purposefully wrote it in that genre since it's his favorite and wanted to do something he enjoyed. But I think we can all agree that it was pretty good
This is the movie where you fall back in love with Nicolas Cage, like John Travolta in Pulp Fiction or Adam Sandler in Punch Drunk Love. His performance is life changing!

@@te9591great observation! I've seen Mandy since I wrote that, and I really enjoyed it, fantastic film! Hobo was bit charmless and basic, maybe that's why I was a bit sick😆 just watched a strange little film during lockdown called Ghost Story with Martin Freeman, no gore, just a bit of a head mangler! Enjoy!☺️
*Mandy* is impossible to describe in simple words, you have to feel it and live through it yourself. You have to be in a very specific mood for it and if you are ready it will go so deep under your skin and will touch the deepest strings of your soul that it will stay with you forever. Absolute magic in every sense cinema can possibly provide, okay, maybe Gaspar Noe's *"Enter the Void"* can do the same for you, but that's it. There are no other movies like this *haunting masterpiece.* It really does exist in its own unnerving horror dimension. *10/10* P.S. What makes it even more sad is the passing of *Jóhann Jóhannsson* who created the best OST ever, this was his last movie soundtrack which on its own deserves standing ovations. RIP maestro, you are deeply missed.
Yep I told a friend about this and the prick said it was "toxic masculinity" He doesnt speak to me anymore *No love lost, dont care* This movie is sick
In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, one stood. Burned by the embers of Armageddon, his soul blistered by the fires of Hell and tainted beyond ascension, he chose the path of perpetual torment. In his ravenous hatred he found no peace; and with boiling blood he scoured the Umbral Plains seeking vengeance against the dark lords who had wronged him. He wore the crown of the Night Sentinels, and those that tasted the bite of his sword named him... *NICOLAS CAGE.*
Casey Goddard Wow, really?? I had no idea I was referencing that at all. I was actually intending to reference DOOM Slayer Testament I with Nic Cage's name at the end because this movie really looked to me like a DOOM Slayer origin story.
This was honestly just as good as Cosmatos's previous film, "Beyond the Black Rainbow," but this one clearly has a bigger budget, allowing for a more involved story. It's a beautiful, masterfully made slow burner with some really gruesome and nightmarish action, as well a career-defining performance from Cage.
What can I say? A movie that puts Nicholas Cage where he deserves to be, at the top with the biggest actors of all time! Just wonderful and insane! Heavy and dark! A Masterpiece!
this is the best movie i've seen in years. the entire time i kept thinking to myself "this is so much like beyond the black rainbow". turns out i was right. i've recommended this film to five people since waking.
That scene in the Shining where Jack is being yelled at for attacking Danny and he's really not looking at anything shaking his head no with his hand up in the air and utter confusion coming from his face knowing there was nobody else in the hotel. That was me watching this trailer.
This has legitimately become one of my favourite films of 2018. Awesome. It's like if you take all the weird bits out of Twin Peaks and string them together into a revenge movie starring Nicholas Cage, with a bit of added Hellraiser.
This is one of those movies where even after it ended and the credits rolled in and I was still sitting there and thinking... "fuck... what did I just watch?!" (in the best way possible)
perhaps its everyone in this movie IS nicholas cage? even so, I must watch this. NO fuckin idea whats going on but, hey its cage ... if we new what was going on, it wouldn't be cage.
Imagining Cage doing a chainsaw fight scene in a movie where he's hyped on mind-altering drugs in a rampage against a hippie cult makes me hope for something gloriously silly and over-the-top as the performance we got from Hopper in Texas Chainsaw 2.
All Light This reply is all you because I don't agree with your point of views. I don't care about the ethnicity of the actor or actress. I just want a good script and be entertained. Other than that have fun with those mixed emotions.
Within the theatric realm of the Silver-screen, a domain for which 'Nicolas Cage has attributed a portfolio about as eclectic & diverse as there are actual actors working within it. My opinion is that the more darkly nuanced themes, or subjectively Arthouse a production evokes roles where we get his best. I'm sure he enjoyed his time here, and is why I am looking forward to it's release.
Glad to see Cage in a role suited for him, with a director and group that are competent. Something he hasn't been gifted with in quite a while, to my knowledge.
Saw this movie on acid. It kicked in about half way through and I thought the visuals were just part of the movie. I remember thinking how incredibly well they captured them. When the movie ended I looked around, realized the visuals were NOT part of the movie and that everyone I was with looked like one of the alien looking people (what I thought was special effects) from the movie. I had a 10 minute panic attack where I thought maybe I got a bad batch of acid like in the movie. Maybe I’d become a permafried evil hippie. It was slightly traumatic and It left some mental scars but the movie was 10/10
You can watch a movie for the first time only once, a good soundtrack is fresh each time. Memento, IT FOLLOWS, Under The Skin, Mandy, every time I listen to them it's raw like going to my best friend's funeral.
This is one of the most insane and underrated films I have ever seen. It's using the theme of psychedelics to convey a deluded soul with a god complex being absolutely destroyed by a true cosmic warrior / god.
I just saw this! HOLY SHIT!! One of the most amazing movies I've ever seen! I was mentally exhausted after watching it. Muscles clinched. Eyelids trembling from not blinking for 2 hours. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!! 🤘🔥
This film should be its own sub genre. A drug fueled, unhinged hell-ride, though a super dark and psychedelic, retro-future, art house infused, lynchian, night terror-storm. It made me never want to live off the grid in territory unmarked.
