Nothing mind altering amazing, but cool artsy horror flick. This feels like the best Nicholas Cage (Red) since starring in Raising Arizona. He’s simple, raw and driven in his quest for vendetta. This hits all the notes of a revenge movie with hyperbolic zest. How messed up would any one be after those experiences? Andrea Risenborough (Mandy) was under-used and squandered I feel; she could have elevated the movie to greatness with better writing/plot enhancements. Linus Roache (Sand) is a decent villain and puts on a nice flavour as a used up cult leader. It would have been better with more connecting scenes and embracing more supernatural elements, but what ya gonna do, it’s kinda indie and probably on a budget (6 million). THAT LAST FIGHT SCENE! I didn’t even know I wanted that in my life and it did not disappoint. And that soundtrack, just growling, so don’t pet it. Rated 3.5 stars for performance, originality, and ambiance. UPDATE: 2/3/2020 Watched this again on blu-ray after seeing ‘Color Out of Space’ and it‘s my conclusion that the genre of psychedelic horror is Nicholas Cage’s wheel-house. My appreciation of the cinematography has also increased since my last viewing. A shame more people may not appreciate this.
