Not just a movie destined for cult greatness, Mandy also serves as a stunning reminder that when motivated and giving his all, Nicolas Cage is one of the greatest actors on the planet.

Cage is nothing short of phenomenal in Panos Cosmatos' bonkers revenge flick, reminding everyone that there is still a brilliant actor lurking behind the memes and straight-to-video garbage. Trying to describe Mandy in a few sentences is pretty much impossible but it involves buckets of blood, no shortage of surreal imagery, massive amounts of mind-bending drugs and a very big axe.

Hardly shocking for an incredibly violent and psychedelic grindhouse-inspired movie, Mandy didn't exactly set the box office alight, with the $6m feature earning just $1.6m. If it isn't already, Mandy is guaranteed to become a regular fixture at midnight screenings and niche film festivals the world over.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
