‘Mandy’ Trailer: Sign me the fuck up for Nic Cage’s bloody revenge flick
You’re either excited by this trailer, or you’re fucking wrong. Just know, I love you either way. But, you’re either excited. Or, you’re wrong.
Esquire:
September the 14th, 2018 is a date that will go down in cinema history, as it is when Nicolas Cage will finally ascend to his peak being. When his new film Mandy is released in theaters, audiences will gaze at Cage in his truest form—covered in blood, screaming nonsense into our faces. He will growl, he will shriek, he will swing some sort of mythical homemade axe.
To be completely honest, I have no clue what this movie is about, and I truly don’t care. It’s a movie that has all of the things I outlined above, PLUS I’m half convinced this is some sort of death metal music video.
Here’s the plot synopsis, which clears up absolutely nothing:
Pacific Northwest. 1983 AD. Outsiders Red Miller and Mandy Bloom lead a loving and peaceful existence. When their pine-scented haven is savagely destroyed by a cult led by the sadistic Jeremiah Sand, Red is catapulted into a phantasmagoric journey filled with bloody vengeance and laced with fire.
But—and I can’t stress this enough—I don’t care, because Nicolas Cage will be screaming and swinging an axe. This is already my favorite movie of the year.
