[Trailer] Chainsaw-wielding Nicolas Cage Fights Off Hellish Forces of Evil in Visually Stunning ‘Mandy’
If you’ve seen Panos Cosmatos’ Beyond the Black Rainbow, then you know exactly what to expect in the first trailer for his action-thriller Mandy, which flaunts a scene with a chainsaw-wielding Nicolas Cage!
“Set in 1983, Cage plays Red Miller, a broken and haunted man, who hunts the unhinged religious sect who slaughtered the love of his life.”
The trailer goes full-Cage, with the actor digging deep into his arsenal of rage performances. This time, he confronts a cult who has kidnapped his Mandy. The footage is bleak, dark, hellish even, and promises a bloody descent into madness. Man, I’ve got to see this as soon as possible. Too bad we’ll be waiting for its release until September 14th.
Our own Fred Topel raved that “Cage wreaks bloody vengeance in the nightmarish Mandy.”
Andrea Riseborough and Linus Roache also star in the film, with Ned Dennehy, Olwen Fouéré, Richard Brake, Bill Duke and Sam Louwyk rounding out the cast for the project.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
