Taking place in 1983, Red is a lumberjack who lives in a secluded cabin in the woods. His artist girlfriend Mandy spends her days reading fantasy paperbacks. Then one day, she catches the eye of a crazed cult leader, who conjures a group of motorcycle-riding demons to kidnap her. Red, armed with a crossbow and custom Axe, stops at nothing to get her back, leaving a bloody, brutal pile of bodies in his wake. Written by texasboyy (Courtesy of Internet Movie Database)
MANDY is written & directed by Panos Cosmatos and produced by Martin Metz & Adrian Politowski. Not knowing what to fully expect from this film, I went in with an open mind.
Upon watching, I felt the film was moved by the strong rock horror fantasy cinematic choices. I also believe this revenge story sets itself apart from other revenge films by capturing a sort of universe like but unlike ours, with those elements creating a more memorable and original film.
In the End: MANDY was an entertaining film from a director with a rock and roll fantasy sensibility. So I give this film 3.5 of 5 stars.
