Beautiful Mandy Lane (Amber Heard) isn't a party girl but, when classmate Chloe (Whitney Able) invites the Texas high school student to a bash in the countryside, she reluctantly accepts. After hitching a ride with a vaguely scary older man (Anson Mount), the teens arrive at their destination. Partying ensues, and Mandy's close pal, Emmet (Michael Welch), keeps a watchful eye on the young males making a play for Mandy. Then two of the students are murdered.

Critics Consensus

Mandy Lane has enough wit and craft to spark the horror fan's interest, but is not sufficiently original for mainstream audiences.

Michael O'Sullivan

Washington Post

Too dumb for the arthouse, but too smart for the mall multiplex, the movie satisfies, paradoxically, precisely because it doesn't deliver on expectations.

Rated: 2.5/4

Levine has fun with the genre, but he's found more interesting movies to make since. "Mandy" isn't quite dandy, but it's a cut above average.

Rated: C+

"Mandy" is a sturdy little slasher film, nothing more.

Fiction Machine

As far as original slasher films go, it is largely frustrating – but there are potential rewards if you are patient.

Rated: 6/10

The Wolfman Cometh

Takes a number of exciting narrative deviations from expectations while also paying homage to teen-themed horrors of yesteryear.

Rated: 3/5

Battleship Pretension

Levine and cinematographer Darren Genet aren't quite as freewheeling and bold with it as Scott and his collaborators, but it nonetheless leaves a mark.

I must have different tastes to many, as I really enjoyed this film. Yes, it's your typical teen slasher movie, but there are enough twists and turns to keep it interesting even if the acting is a little hammy. The clever and violent ending adds to the overall effect.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

All The Boys Love Mandy Lane may not be up there with the classics of the slasher genre, but it earns a lot of points for being original, gritty, moody and entertaining. 10/10.

Slasher b movie with amateur ish acting. But the twist at the end was unexpected that makes it decent.

A typical 2000s horror movie with bad color grading and mediocre acting. All the Boys Love Mandy Lane mirrors many popular slashers like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th, but it doesn't measure up. It could've been worse, though.

All the Boys Love Mandy Lane - R (1h 30m) 2006 - Horror, Mystery, Thriller 1/5 stars Well this boy doesn't love Mandy Lane; the entirety of this film felt like a mash-up of all early 2000 horror movies. Nothing original or shocking about it. I've seen a lot of movies in the past week so I'm not going to spend a lot of time (especially on one I disliked so much.) I really can't think of many positives here, I haven't seen a horror film this predictable in a long time. The acting was subpar at best. Some of the deaths have a little shock factor but even those were inconsistent. Maybe it's just because this is dated but I don't feel like I've gained any appreciation for having this in my collection. Unfortunately I had pretty high hopes for this one. #horror #halloween #horrormovies #art #scary #horrorfan #creepy #horrormovie #horrorart #spooky #movie #film #horrorfilm #movies #horrorcommunity #terror #horroraddict #dark #goth #s #thriller #cosplay #gore #cinema #gothic #horrorcollector #slasher #fridaythe #horrorjunkie #bhfyp

Standard slasher horror flick with the usual cast of displeasant teenagers ends with an unprepared and silly twist.
