Yes please.
Still haven't seen Mandy, and The Color Out of Space was more miss than hit.
But still...yes, please.

"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
Disagree. I really liked it. Mandy is a dreamy, trippy and slow-paced burn. The action scenes are a little clunky, but it's still very enjoyable.Quoting megladon8 (view post)

This is real??
I liked it, but something about it just...didn't quite work for me? It was almost like there was some ingredient missing that I just couldn't put my finger on.
I also thought the word of mouth for the movie actually kind of hurt it, for me. It had been built up as this absolutely insane gonzo experience, and there was much less of that than I expected.

I agree meg. Mandy was better.
He doesn't say a single word through this whole movie.
Haven't seen The Color Out of Space, but Mandy is that shit. Seriously good movie: completely out-there, indulgent as it is satisfying. Cage's performance is quite the stunner. Everyone in the movie (including the score composer, the mythic Johan Johanssen, who completed suicide just after writing it) is operating at an extreme level.

This was fun enough.
Goofy high concept.
At times has the production value of a 90s DTV, but it seems they spent the money where it counted most - on the animatronic creatures, and gore effects.

This was just the movie to watch stoned with a roommate. I agree it looks cheap enough to be DTV at times but it made up for it in terms of sheer strangeness and out-there comedy. And of course, B-movie Cage is the best Cage. Wikipedia mentions a franchise of videogames called Five Nights at Freddy's with a very similar premise. Anyone here has played them?
