Set in the 1980s, Panos Cosmatos’ Mandy (read our review) is a natural fit for the VHS format, and UK store HMV has kinda/sorta given it the VHS treatment for an exclusive Blu-ray that’s now up for pre-order. No, the release doesn’t actually include Mandy on VHS (how awesome would THAT be?!), but the two-disc set is at least housed inside of VHS-style packaging.
It’s part of HMV’s “VHS Range” series, releasing on October 29. Here in the States, Mandy is now available on VOD, with the U.S. DVD/Blu-ray release coming on October 30.
In Mandy, starring Nicolas Cage…
“Pacific Northwest. 1983 AD. Outsiders Red Miller and Mandy Bloom lead a loving and peaceful existence. When their pine-scented haven is savagely destroyed by a cult led by the sadistic Jeremiah Sand, Red is catapulted into a phantasmagoric journey filled with bloody vengeance and laced with fire.”
The cast also includes Andrea Riseborough, Linus Roache, Ned Dennehy and Olwen Fouéré with Richard Brake and Bill Duke.
Panos Cosmatos wrote the script with Aaron Stewart-Ahn.
