[Trailer] Nicolas Cage Owns a Creepy Murder Motel in ‘Looking Glass’

Published

on

One of this year’s most pleasant surprises thus far is just how many genre films Nicolas Cage has been appearing in, beginning with the just released (on VOD) Mom and Dad, where he’s at his batshit over the top best, and the upcoming Mandy. And that’s not all, as Momentum Pictures is releasing the Cage-starring Looking Glass next month!

Cage plays a motel owner and potential murderer in director Tim Hunter’s film, which looks to deliver a more subdued Cage than you might be expecting. Then again, there *is* a scene in the trailer wherein he’s rocking out in a club with a drink in hand, so here’s hoping Hunter took at least a little advantage of Cage’s particular brand of insanity.

Check out Cage bathed in colorful lights below.

In the film, written by Jerry Rapp…

“Ray (Nicolas Cage) must save his wife and himself from a gruesome secret connected to a motel and the strange people who visit there.”

The Craft‘s Robin Tunney and Marc Blucas also star.

Looking Glass arrives in theaters and On Demand and Digital HD February 16, 2018.

Writer in the horror community since 2008. Editor in Chief of Bloody Disgusting. Owns Eli Roth's prop corpse from Piranha 3D. Has four awesome cats. Still plays with toys.

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.

You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!

Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.

Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”

“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.

She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
