Nicolas Cage Would Totally Be Up for a Sequel to ‘Mom and Dad’
Nicolas Cage goes crazy and destroys a pool table in this year’s Mom and Dad, which is enough for me to recommend it to you. The Brian Taylor-directed film isn’t exactly *good*, per se, but it’s home to some epic #CageRage, which is sometimes all you really need from a Cage movie. And as it turns out, Cage wants to go back for seconds!
In Mom and Dad…
“A teenage girl and her little brother must survive a wild 24 hours during which a mass hysteria of unknown origins causes parents to turn violently on their own kids.”
Speaking with CinemaBlend, Cage just talked sequel potential.
“In terms of sequels, I think Mom and Dad has potential for a sequel,” he told the site. “I mean, I would be curious to see the direction it could go in… but I think it was probably the most dysfunctional family ever put on celluloid… and with the grandparents coming in. You know, I think that there could be some sort of switch that gets flipped again where the kids start taking over and then going on a rampage. I feel like you could do something with the adapter particular family again and then have a lot of fun with it.”
If Cage is in, we are too!
Before updating the video nasty Faces of Death, director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei explored the dangers of online life in tech-thriller Cam, their feature debut that was acquired by Netflix in 2018 after making waves on the festival circuit.
At the end of last year, the Netflix exclusive quietly departed from the streaming platform, left without another streaming home.
It’s not an isolated story; Mike Flanagan’s Hush also left streaming entirely for a period until it was finally picked up on both physical media and other streaming services.
While the tech-thriller currently isn’t available to watch on Netflix, Tubi, Hulu, or any other platforms, that’s not a problem for Cam thanks to a very cool move by Goldhaber: the director has made his breakout film accessible to watch online for free via his website.
As his site notes: “CAM is unfortunately not currently available to view on any platforms, so you can watch it here if you like :).“
No subscriptions or fees necessary, just hit play.
Cam follows Alice (Madeline Brewer), who works as an online cam girl obsessed with her ranking on the cam site. The higher her ranking goes, the more it draws unwanted attention, and Alice soon finds herself replaced on her own show with a doppelganger.
Written by Mazzei, a former camgirl, it uses the horror thriller premise to examine the life of a sex worker; Alice’s career ambition is directly at odds with the shame it brings to her family, and how she tries to spare them from it by keeping them in the dark. It only compounds her danger when the doppelganger enters the equation in Goldhaber’s engaging thriller.
For a deep dive into the treacherous world of Cam, listen to Horror Queers’ episode on it now.
