3. Mandy
Another effort from sci-fi visionary Panos Cosmatos, Mandy is a more recent 2018 effort which fuses together sci-fi and horror in the story of Nic Cage as a grieving widower avenging his wife’s murder at the hands of possibly demonic bikers.
That’s about it in terms of story. So, just a shameless showcase for the actor’s demented performance?
Not a chance.
Cage just about makes a mark in this flick, with the visuals so drenched in colour and atmosphere that the camerawork ends up the star of this trippy, visually stunning show. From the expansive landscapes of its remote setting to the horrifying visages of the largely shadowy antagonists, this beautifully realized nightmare has few comparisons in recent memory, and makes for a mind-blowing cinematic experience—even before the spectacle of a chainsaw wielding Nic Cage going psycho.
