Customer Ratings & Reviews

This movie is a psychedelic, heavy-metal masterpiece and I’m so happy I finally own it. Not to mention it’s a steelbook. Buy it!

Crazy cage can't go wrong not a bad movie different

The beginning of the movie starts off as a love story. Then takes a dark turn and becomes a hardcore, revenge fick spliced with psychedelic visuals. Also, this is a beautiful, glossy steelbook and it comes with funny temporary tattoos.

Beautiful steelbook for a new psychedelic classic that pays homage to b movies and Nic Cage going full Nic Cage!

Very cool design. Movie had some awesome scenes ans enjoyed.

Nicolas Cage’s best film of recent memory is this year’s MANDY. An acid drenched bizarre horror fantasy, this is a must see film for those looking for something different. Director and cowriter Panos Cosmatos delivers a deliciously deep cut of genre while retaining an arthouse sensibility. Trippy visuals, demons, animated sequences, and glorious mayhem assault the screen while you try to figure out if somebody laced your drink with LSD. In 1983, a stand in for the fantasy genre’s ahistorical a-long-time-ago, logger Red (a determined and tough Cage) is living an idyllic existence with his heavy metal loving artist wife Mandy (an ethereal Andrea Riseborough). One day, a demonic cult leader named Jeremiah (creepy Linus Roache) takes an interest in Mandy and orders his minions to conjure some demons and kidnap her. Despite being dosed with a powerful hallucinogen, Mandy rejects Jeremiah, and Red will soon have to embark on a quest into the darkness for revenge. It’s not the plot that makes this film so compelling, although it’s well executed and fun. No, it’s Cosmatos and cinematographer Benjamin Loeb’s complete adherence to slathering the screen in weird lighting and psychedelic imagery. Reminiscent of Dario Argento’s famous SUSPIRIA, this is not a conventional looking film in the slightest. Besides the visuals, Cosmatos uses the common fantasy framework for his narrative but melds it onto a more modern time, creating a pleasingly unique fairytale mood. Keep an eye out for the appearance of a goblin. Then there’s Johann Johannsson’s droning metal inspired score. Beautiful and dark, the late Johannsson’s music is a perfect match for this ultra moody flick. Effects and action sequences are thrilling, allowing for gore and well executed stunts. The film makes time for both chainsaws and majestic battle-axe battles, too as the costume and prop departments shine. Throw in fan favorite character actors Bill Duke and Richard Brake in grin inducing cameos and some cool metal fantasy inspired animated sequences and it’s one heck of a ride. MANDY is a blast, however it is decidedly outside the mainstream. Much effort was placed on making this film look and feel different from the norm, even though the plot is pretty straightforward. Hallucinogenic, violent, and beautiful, it’s an acid trip down into the depths of arthouse horror and fantasy. Unapologetically unconventional while still being entertaining is rarely pulled off so well. Even though it’s closest in tone to Ridley Scott’s LEGEND, it is it’s inversion and embracing of the genre that makes it so memorable. Recommended for metalheads, fantasy enthusiasts, fans of subversive cinema, and those who’ve sampled psychedelic wares.

How do you describe Mandy? That one word title simply isn't enough. Let's begin with a disclaimer before giving you a rundown of what Mandy is... I'm an artist myself, a movie-lover with over 1100 films in my collection. In both instances, I'm also a "basic" guy. My all-time favorite artists, outside HR Giger, are more likely to be found in the pages of comic books than hanging on museum walls. You'll find multiple copies of films like Alien, Aliens, or Predator than a single Ingmar Bergman flick. Keep this in mind when reading what is written next. Mandy is beautiful. It's gorgeous. It's breathtaking. It's a revenge film that took all those mentioned prior and has made art house palatable for the masses. If you're like me and use the majority of your film-time as release, as indulgence, you're going to enjoy this intrusion into your typical fare of art, metaphor, and reflection. None of it replaces any of the story, it enhances it in ways you never thought was necessary, but leaves you wanting more films exactly like it. At its heart, Mandy is horror, action-revenge, and drama, all packaged in one of Nic Cage's best performances. He runs the gamut to extremes in ways only he can do, even pulling some of the finest psychosis since Vampire's Kiss (giving us the meme-worthy, "YOU RIPPED MY SHIRT!" in the process). Panos Cosmatos, son of Tombstone director George Cosmatos, has truly made a modern day arthouse masterpiece that speaks to the masses that fall on either side of the cinema line. Mandy shouldn't be missed, no matter which group you throw your hat in with.

A unique take on the age-old tale of revenge, Mandy has a strange ethereal, nightmare quality to it. The world melds the modern world with fantasy and Heavy Metal. It's visually interesting, with an unrelenting synth soundtrack. I love it, but I don't know who I could ever recommend this to, it may be too weird and slow paced for most people.

I love this movie. Definitely not for everyone but if ya like Nic Rage Cage and say David Lynch then this will be your jam! It’s great and so many potential interpretations of what’s actually happening. Love it. Steel case is vivid and high quality. Highly recommend experimenting Mandy. Lead actress is all very talented.

Panos Cosmatos' singular style brought us an amazing follow up to Beyond The Black Rainbow. Mandy is a little of everything; horror, sci fi, action, period-film. Great deal on the steelbook too!

Loved this steelbook. The artwork and color are great. The movie is shot well and has an interesting story. It's very dark but it's enjoyable and a different type of movie than what usually gets made.

Heard about the movie but never had a chance to watch it. Now that I've seen it, I'd recommend this movie to anyone.

Nick Cage is great in this film! If you like a horror movie with some psychedelic imagery, check this one out.

Good movie, weird but good. Nice to go back to Best Buy after a while. There’s always something nostalgic about it.

Visually it is stunning and the movie has such a strange emotional feel to it. There is a bit too much 70s slasher movie in the last third for my liking, but it was worth watching. This movie is not going to be for everyone and you are going to love it or hate it.

Can you dig on wild & weird viewing experiences such as HEAVY METAL or anything from the Rob Zombie catalogue?! Then MANDY will be right up your twisted alley. Love it: visuals, music, performances, costumes/weaponry, and the whole 80s metal vibe! Dig it!!!!

You have Nic Cage being all Cagey, you have blood and lots of it, you have one of the prettiest color pallets in a modern movie, it's weird and it's insane. The Blu has a few features, but you really just want to own this movie for maximum Cage-ness

This is a fantastic movie and my partner loved receiving this as a gift.

This movie rocks. Not safe for kids so keep it for adults only but highly, highly reccomend.

What a wild ride this movie is. When it picks up, it doesn't stop until it's over. Cheddar goblin.
