Ron A Terrible movie in every way. Worst director, discontinuities abound and long lingering shots are long and lingering at 10x speed! We all know Nicolas Cage is a terrible actor but at least he's unintentionally hilarious in this bomb. Director keeps telling him to stand still wide-eyed for those endless lingering shots -- or maybe Cage insisted on it, who knows. Anyway, it's pretty funny at times. But the incoherent action is baffling at best and is frankly unnecessarily confusing. The supernatural elements seem to just be there to keep the script from having to be coherent. The dialog is delivered at half speed throughout. (Was slow even at 1.5 speed.) Typically low budget gore. The bad guys conveniently tie up Cage poorly so he easily escapes -- TWICE!! They also conveniently leave his weapons hanging around so he can retrieve them. I'd call it brainless fun except it will make your head explode, which is not fun. You can't even say that the whole thing is supposed to be an LSD-induced hallucination because the director makes it clear that much of it is supposed to be real. Idiotic from start to finish.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/15/25 Full Review Bill W God awful movie. Horrible in every way. But you better watch it! Gonzo beautiful! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/25 Full Review Ben D Nicolas Cage holds back nothing as Red, the “alcoholic war veteran lumberjack” in this gorecore revenge-o-matic. A cult leader (Linus Roache) takes a fancy to Mandy (Andrea Riseborough) and summons rip-off cenobites (Ivailo Dimitrov, Kalin Kerin, Tamás Hagyuó, Paul Painter) to kidnap her. What happens to Mandy is pretty jarring ($1) and I don’t want to spoil it. But let’s just say Red’s awesomely confected axe has an insatiable thirst for biker and cultist blood. The pink and purple palette draped with an excellent score shape this batshit story. It feels like a throwback and knows exactly what it is. I’m actually shocked with RT (90/67) and figured it would be an Audience favorite. A gripe would be Cosmatos sorta “Boba Fett’d” the cannibalistic demon bikers. It also showcases a key bump that would draw the envy of Tony Montana. If you’re craving a gory good time with Nic Cage, this is your movie. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/25 Full Review Patrick H A beautiful nightmare roller coaster that Nicolas Cage takes you on while fighting with a battle axe and tripping on demon acid. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/15/24 Full Review Ben B I watched this movie on a lark one night… and it has stuck with me ever since. The artistry is refreshing and it’s a nice break from the overly played gen z horror that plagues all the streaming channels at the moment. It’s definitely artsy as hell… which is why I love it. Cage is as much cage as can be possible in this movie, and he absolutely delivers. Around every turn of every scene I was laughing, but also just like … WTF did I just watch?! I ended up buying this movie and I watch it often. Can’t wait to see more from this director. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Read all reviews
